Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder cattle were too thinly tested to accurately compare for a market trend. Slaughter cows traded 6.00 to 11.00 lower on a very light test and slaughter bulls were 15.00 lower on a limited market. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.
