Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, Stocker and feeder cattle steady to 2.00 lower. Quality more attractive this week as buyers were able to purchase load lots. CME positions sold off today with triple digit losses seen on all contracts. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to weak. Trade active with good demand.
