Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Rain with flooding throughout the trade area kept receipts too few to establish a trend. However, a lower undertone is noted. Demand good. Quality plain thru attractive. Slaughter cows 5.00 lower. Slaughter bulls mostly steady to 3.00 lower. All so in a light test.
