Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cattle traded 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Slaughter bulls traded steady with a few instances 2.00 higher. Also a nice offering of Bred Cows. A active market for Bred Females with aged cows still a hot commodity. Active bidding from the seats and the internet. Sale again next Friday.
