Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, calves under 550 lbs were too lightly tested for an accurate trend, weaned calves over 550 lbs and yearlings sold mostly 4.00-10.00 lower. Demand was moderate for a moderate supply. Cattle futures have seen large losses since last Tuesday, the first event to really have a negative impact on the cattle market in several months and naturally buyers were more reserved. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower, bulls sold with a higher undertone.
