Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 1.00 lower. Too light a test on slaughter Holsteins for comparison. Many load lots and large groups offered today. Demand continues to be moderate. Slaughter cows; Premium whites were steady, breaker cows were 5.00 lower, boner cows 1.00-2.00 lower and lean cows were steady. Limited number of slaughter bulls.

Slaughter lambs mostly steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter ewes mostly steady with younger ewes and those in good condition bringing a premium.
