Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cows traded 5.00 lower with the exception of fat cows trading 8.00 to 10.00 lower. Slaughter bulls traded 8.00 lower. A very large offering with many ranchers weaning calves and pre checking early due to extreme dry conditions. Sale again next Friday.
