Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, on a very light run; slaughter cows and bulls higher overtones noted with instances 10.00 higher. Demand good. Not enough feeder calves for a good market test.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
