Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cows traded 3.00 higher with instances 10.00 higher on a lighter run than last week. on comparable trades. Slaughter bulls traded sharply higher also on a limited test. Due to the weather in the area this week the Wednesday feeder special was moved to today also. A nice offering today of feeder cattle with most all classes selling sharply higher than last week. A very active market from the internet to the seats. Also today a nice offering of Bred cows with a sharply higher market on middle aged to aged cows compared to two weeks ago. Recent moisture in the area and warm weather on the way lead to a packed house with all classes being in high demand.
