Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week trade activity and demand was moderate. No trend on feeder heifers as there was too light of a test. Dairy heifers traded 1.00 to 5.00 lower. Average dress slaughter cows traded 6.00 to 11.00 lower and average dress slaughter bulls traded mostly 5.00 lower. Next available report will be as receipts warrant.
