Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers 3.00-8.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower. Demand uneven-. Supply moderate. Seasonal fall pricing is coming into full effect this week with light to moderate demand for unweaned calves depending on quality and good demand for long time weaned cattle. The 57 head draft weighing 735 lbs were late cut black steers from a purebred operation. Below average quality in the feeders this week with lots of small packages and bull calves.
