Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold sharply lower on calves and yearlings. Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 higher. There was not enough bulls to set an accurate trend for slaughter bulls. Trade was very active with good demand across all classes of livestock with active buyer participation ringside and on the internet, with a moderate to heavy supply.
