Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Too few slaughter steers, heifers, and Holstein steers offered to make a good price comparison, lower undertones evident. Light demand, few packer buyers present. With the steep price decline last week only a few packages of cattle offered for sale this week as cattle feeders refuse to sell cattle at this price level. April Live Cattle again posting expanded limit gains today but the cash direct fat cattle market still maintains a very large positive basis. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 lower, bulls not well tested.

Slaughter lambs not well tested to make a good price comparison, higher undertone evident. Slaughter ewes 10.00 to 20.00 higher, feeder lambs not well tested for comparison. Moderate demand for slaughter lambs, very good demand for slaughter ewes. Moderate demand for the few packages of feeder lambs offered.
