Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, Stocker and feeder cattle 4.00-6.00 higher. Quality more attractive with hay wintered offerings. Buyer attendance was good. Slaughter Cows 5.00-8.00 higher as demand exceeds current supplies. Not enough slaughter bulls this week for accurate trends.
