Reporter comment USDA

As filed

There have not been an adequate amount of comparable sales over the last few weeks to establish a trend. Winter storms in the middle of the week have greatly impacted producers ability it to transport livestock. Also, the sharply lower futures market due to the coronavirus has others holding on to their investment in hopes of more favorable market conditions. Supply was light and demand was moderate.
