Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday on a light offering; slaughter cows instances 6.00-8.00 higher, slaughter bulls higher higher instances 15.00 higher. Few bred cows and feeder calves selling in single offerings. Not enough for a good market test. Demand good to moderate.

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