Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers were mostly steady to 10.00 lower. The weather affected supply and demand for buyers. There were many odd and end cattle which in return effected the price. The undertone was steady on a very limited test of slaughter cows and bulls, but there was not an efficient number to develop a market trend.
