Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Not enough feeder cattle on offer for a true comparison to the last much larger sale three weeks ago. Slaughter cows 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Cattle movement has been hampered for weeks throughout the local trade area, first by several rounds of winter weather and now by the aftermath of slush and mud. Supply light, demand moderate.
