Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers firm to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 lower. Demand good. Supply light. The feeder trade is stronger at the moment than the board or the fed cattle market as futures have been moving lower over the past week after watching packers continue to fill kill slots without breaking a sweat at only marginally higher prices.
