Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Friday; slaughter and feeder cows traded 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Not enough receipts for for a trend on slaughter bulls. In conjunction with the weigh ups there was also a nice selection of Bred Heifers. Over all a nice offering for the last sale of the year. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. No more sales for 2022. First sale will be a Feeder Special on January 4th 2023.
