Reporter comment USDA

As filed

A light run of slaughter cattle on offer for Thursday's sale due to the local fare and parade discouraging livestock transport into the sale facility. Slaughter steers and slaughter cows both sold with a weaker undertone on a light test. Buyer attendance was light and demand moderate.
