Reporter comment USDA

As filed

This week's light run offered very limited comparisons to last week's special but most weights and classes traded with a weak undertone, with one pot load of yearling steers trading fully steady with last week. Slaughter cows steady. Little different feel to the cattle market this week with futures seeming to have found a bottom for the time being. Supply light and demand moderate.
