Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate trends. Most of the offerings this week where small lots and singles. Buyer attendance was light. Slaughter cows and bulls 6.00-10.00 higher as packer buyers competed over light supplies. Trade active with good demand.
