Trading was slow with only about 1,000 hogs bought by packers. most sales ranged around 4.00 to 4.06 per 100 pounds, with some hogs under and over these levels. Cattle demand remained weak as buyers balked at higher prices despite better quality, with steers and heifers showing limited gains and cows selling at solid, but cautious, levels.
