Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 500 lbs 3.00-5.00 higher, over 500 lbs steady. Feeder heifers steady. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower. Demand good. Supply moderate. Feeders got some help Tuesday from a higher futures trade with feeder contracts making strong advances despite continued stock market losses.
