Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, a light offering sold 4.00 to 12.00 lower. Slaughter cows 6.00 to 10.00 lower. Lots of volatility through the cattle sector the last couple weeks but still a lot of interest in owning the cattle moving in the area, just at slightly more conservative prices. Supply light, demand moderate to good.
