Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Not enough feeders on hand to establish a trend but undertones were lower. The offering had many unweaned calves which buyers have little interest in buying during the month of October. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 1.00 lower; Supply and demand was light.
