Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday on a light offering due to cold weather conditions: Slaughter cows and bulls steady, not enough feeder calves for a good market test. Demand moderate. Big sale next week on a feeder calf special.

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