Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 7.00 higher with lean cows sharply lower. No trend available for slaughter bulls and feeder cattle due to limited comparable sales, with no replacement cattle sold. Good demand this week with active bidding on a light supply.
