Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, a small offering traded mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 lower. The feeder market has lost some of it's shine since the lofty market two weeks ago thanks to lower trending cattle futures and disappointing fed cattle trade. Some top quality 6 weight cattle did trade steady to 3.00 lower. Supply light, demand moderate.

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Missouri auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
