Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cows traded unevenly steady with the exception of fat cows trading 5.00 lower. Slaughter bulls traded 4.00 to 5.00 lower compared to a week ago. Today was the first test on pairs for the area with a nice selection of young pairs. No trend this week but an active market with green grass poking through. Sale again next Friday.
