Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday on a special bred cow sale; slaughter cows steady instances 2.00-4.00 higher, slaughter bulls firm with feeder cows steady to higher overtones noted. Not enough feeder calves for a good market test. Demand good with good buyer participation and attendance at bred cows sale.
