Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, not enough stocker cattle for accurate market trends. Feeder cattle weak in a light test. Quality not as attractive as last week as most offerings were small lots and singles. Slaughter cows unevenly steady. Slaughter bulls weak in pre-holiday trading. Trade active with good demand.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
