Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter cows 3.00-5.00 lower on lesser quality. Slaughter bulls steady in a light test. Packer demand moderate. Cooler temperatures moving thru the country and this is bringing more cows to town. Slaughter cow markets beginning to see their seasonal declines as producers cull their herds.
