Reporter comment USDA

As filed

A lower undertone noted, however no recent sales with enough head for a good comparison. Buyers were in the seats and the market was fairly active at the lower prices. Farmers are still planning on having grass that needs to be grazed, if the mud ever dries up. Demand moderate and supply light.
