*Correction to slaughter sheep changed from per cwt to per head *

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 4.00 to 5.00 lower and bulls 2.00 to 3.00 lower on a light test. Feeder cattle had too few comparable head to establish an adequate market comparison, but a lower undertone was noted. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were light. Cattle quality was average.
