Compared to last week, slaughter cattle were 1.00 to 4.00 lower on a fairly light test. There were too few feeder cattle to establish an adequate market comparison, however a lower undertone was noted. Due to it being a holiday week, demand was light; market activity and buy interest were slow. Offerings of cattle were light. Cattle quality was average. 10 head of baby calves ranged 10.00 to 55.00 per head.
