Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, breaker and boning cows gauging 1.00 to 5.00 higher overall, with lean cows 4.00 to 9.00 lower, and slaughter bulls 4.00 to 9.00 lower. No comparisons available for feeder classes due to limited comparable receipts, however, a lower undertone was noted. Lighter demand overall was noted due to observance of the Labor Day Holiday weekend.
