Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Slim comparisons to the last sale but cattle traded in a wide range, mostly 5.00 lower to 8.00 higher. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Pretty light run this week, mostly offered in small packages and lots of 1-2 head drafts. Buyers were eager to own some stock, just had to piece them together a little more than usual. The instances that did trade a few dollars lower was more a reflection of the light offering and few available numbers in certain weight ranges. Supply light, demand moderate to good.
