COMMENTS: THIS WAS A LIGHT TEST OF THE MARKET ON ALL WEIGHTS. THE MARKET WANTS TO FOLLOW THE FUTURES MARKET, IT HAS DROPPED $6.00 - $8.00 DOLLARS IN THE LAST FEW DAYS ON FATS & FEEDERS. LIGHT GREEN GRASS CATTLE SOLD TO GOOD DEMAND BUT SUPPLY WAS LIGHT. SLAUGHTER COWS WERE $4.00 - $5.00 DOLLARS LOWER, BULLS $2.00 - $6.00 DOLLARS HIGHER.
