Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last report, no trend available on feeder cattle due to too few comparable sales. With boning slaughter cows selling steady 5.00 higher, while breaker, lean cows, and slaughter bulls sold too light to test. Trade was active with a good demand with a heavy supply.
