Livestock Market Hits Decline Amid Boycott Effects
The Portland Union Stockyards report a hog market drop of about 2.50 per hundredweight driven by eastern price slumps, with cattle prices down around 26 cents and sheep steady.

Prices in yards show cattle best around 6.00, hogs near 9.25, and sheep at 5.50 to 6.00, with mixed lots varying by source and load.
