Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 lower. There was a lower undertone in weights under 600 lbs with health issues bringing a seasonal decline in the calf market along with corn acting like it may want to push higher out of its current trading range. A special cow sale followed the feeders with several good bred cows and pairs.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
