Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, stocker and feeder cattle 5.00-6.00 lower. In part due to lower Slaughter cattle markets. Slaughter cows and bulls 4.00-7.00 lower as the fall runs have started and supply exceeds demand. Trade slow with light to moderate demand.
