As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, not enough stocker or feeder cattle for accurate trends. Buyer attendance was light on reduced receipts. Live and feeder cattle prices today on the CME ended the day lower. Slaughter cows and bulls firm with good buyer attendance. Trade active with good demand.
