Compared to same sale last week: Slaughter cows and bulls steady. Steers 5.00 to 12.00 lower, mostly 8.00 to 12,00 lower. Bulls 5.00 to 14.00 lower. Heifers 4.00 to 10.00, mostly 6.00 to 8.00 lower, exception was 500 to 600 lb heifers which were fully steady. Market struggles as stock market continues to show sharp declines, cattle futures fall and who

knows were the bug will strike next.
