Reporter comment USDA

As filed

compared to two weeks ago calves and feeders selling on alight test still have lots of small groups and not a lot of comparison with the state fair just getting over Sunday. Lots of outside pressure from the big announcement of 300,000 metric tons of beef that is going to be imported in over the next 90 days putting the CME live cattle board down $4.37-$2.17 on monday. lots of pressure on the feeder cattle market and also the slaughter cows and bulls. Calves and feeders selling with a lower undertone and slaughter cows and bull selling with a lower undertone as well
