Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter bulls and breaker and boning cows sold 1.00 to 2.00 higher, with lean cows 4.00 lower. No market trends available for feeder classes due to limited comparable receipts, however, a significantly lower undertone was noted for steers and bulls. Higher-quality offerings, but decreased demand and buyer participation, was noted for feeder classes.
