Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Due to a lack of comparable receipts, trends for Feeder Cattle could not be established, but tended to trade lower with excessively fleshy and unweaned calves receiving a considerable discount. Slaughter Cows $2.00-$4.00 lower, Slaughter Bulls mostly steady. Quality fair to good, Demand moderate.
