Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday: No trends available on feeders due to the small offering last week. With the moderation in temperatures and a larger offering the demand for feeder cattle was stronger. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 2.00-4.00 lower.
