Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower, with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls or feeder classes due to limited comparable receipts, but a higher undertone and good demand was noted for all feeder classes with exception of a lower undertone for feeder bulls weighing up 450 lbs.
