Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, a very light offering of feeders this week, were very lightly tested with not enough of any one weight range to test the market. Several inches of snow in the area over the last couple of days curbed receipts with a special feeder cattle sale set for next week. Slaughter cows on a light test sold steady.
