Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No recent comparisons available to establish a price trend. Demand good. Supply moderate. Nice feeder offering that got a boost from a strong advance in the futures trade on Wednesday. In general since the last trended sale the light cattle were steady to lower while weights over 650 lbs have advanced in anticipation of rising fed cattle prices down the road.
