Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Not enough feeder cattle on offer for a true price comparison, undertone higher. Slaughter cows steady. Very good demand for the pot load of yearling heifers as well as a couple other larger consignments on offer, with the balance very small packages or single head lots. Supply light.
