Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week slaughter bulls sold 7.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady. Demand was good with several groups of cows going back to the country. Not enough feeder cattle for a market comparison. Rain and snow throughout the day left some consignments of cattle at home. Baby calves: Mix sexes: 120-170 lbs 225.00-285.00.
