COMMENTS
Slaughter classes steady to 2 lower. Replacement bred cows and cow calf pairs steady to very firm.Calves and feeder cattle mostly steady to 3 higher. Market very active with all buyers in attendance and stronger demand. As always, the Big Boys are applying pressure to force the market down while the Major Beef Packers are having a record year in profits!!Fed cattle in the West lower @ 109- 110.
