Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, the best test on steers weighed 600-700 lbs and sold mostly 5.00 lower with weights over 700 lbs not well tested. Feeder heifers had the best test on 600-725 lb heifers trading mostly 5.00-8.00 lower with overall quality and weighing conditions not as attractive as two weeks ago. Demand and supply was moderate. Slaughter cows on a light test traded steady to weak. December corn fell 19 1/2 cents lower on Friday after USDA estimated corn plantings much larger than expected at 91.7 million acres. Feeder cattle futures responded with higher gains for the week with limit moves up on Wednesday.
