Reporter comment USDA

As filed

It was another rough day in the cattle futures, as market uncertainty continues to pressure prices. On a light supply, feeder steers and heifers traded sharply lower compared to the previous week. Demand was uneven, with buyers cautious amid volatility in the futures market and ongoing concerns about market direction. On a positive note, slaughter cattle prices held steady, with packers showing consistent interest.
