Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Comparable feeders to last week were limited on a lighter supply this week, but both steers and heifers were trending mostly 10.00 to 20.0 lower. Several offerings fleshy and unweaned feeders traded sharply lower. Feeder cattle futures have been uncertain and very volatile over the last few weeks and has buyers hesitant to step out to far. Slaughter cows and bulls were not well tested. Supply was moderate and demand was moderate.
