SLAUGHTER CATTLE 85 65 129
Compared to the previous week, feeder receipts increased; however, overall
quality was plainer, and the supply of feeder steers was limited, preventing
the establishment of a market trend. Feeder bulls sold $15.00-$20.00 lower,
while feeder heifers were $10.00 lower amid weaker demand. Slaughter cattle
traded from steady to $10.00 lower, with a very light test on slaughter bulls.
