Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cows traded 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded 3.00 higher. A nice offering of Bred Cows also with an active market for an aged cow in good flesh. Moderate bidding throughout the Bred Cow section. Still lots of snow in the area making it hard for buyers and sellers to get cattle in and out.
