Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: No accurate comparison on steer and heifer calves or feeders due to limited receipts but a higher undertone noted, mostly on 400-550 lb. offerings. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to 1.00 higher on limited offerings. Trade active, demand moderate to good.
