Slaughter cows mostly boning and lean cows traded 3.00-5.00 lower. Very active market this week with 16 pot loads, many strings and groups of top quality calves and yearlings in the offering with buyers very aggressive to purchase feeders. CME Feeder Cattle contracts on the front three months closed with triple digit gains of 2.12 to 3.15 higher as demand for feeders remains aggressive as long term optimism is bullish.
