Reporter comment USDA

As filed

A light run of feeders compared to last week, with steers and heifers trading steady to firm on a light test, instances up to 5.00 higher on steer calves. Bulk of the receipts calves with very few yearlings in the offering. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand good and supply light.
