Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 4.00 to 5.00 lower. Moderate to good demand for this nice offering of high quality grading steers and heifers. A lower direct trade last week, resulted in lower prices at the auction. Weights of cattle continue very heavy for this time of year. CME Live Cattle contracts continue to slide lower.

Slaughter lambs steady to instances of 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Higher undertones on feeder lambs. Slaughter ewes 20.00 to 30.00 lower. Good demand for all weights of slaughter lambs, very good demand for feeder lambs. Demand more moderate for slaughter ewes.
