Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday sale, slaughter cows 5.00-7.00 higher with bulls steady on larger offering than last week. Not enough feeder calves for a good market test with limited numbers. Several packages young to aged bred cows with lower undertones noted. Demand moderate to good.
