Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday on a bred and pairs special; slaughter cows steady instances 1.00-2.00 higher, slaughter bulls 2.00-3.00 higher with instances 6.00 on individual bull, feeder cows firm. Not enough feeder calves for a good market test. Demand good with good buyer attendance for bred cows and cow/calf pairs. Few baby calves; 80 lbs 150.00, 210-230 lbs 250.00-300.00 per head.
