Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, there were too few comparable sales for a price comparison but the undertone was steady. Demand was moderate for a light supply following the holiday weekend. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady except for some high dressing bulls selling with a higher undertone.
