Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate trends. Most offerings where small lots and singles. Locals are still trying to fill pastures. Slaughter cows and bulls 10.00-15.00 lower as the end product is lower and other commodities traded lower this week. Trade slow to moderate with light to moderate demand.
