Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Solid feeder trade despite a lack of front end consignments. Cattle futures have softened since last week due partly to economic concerns while cutout values are higher early in the week with fed cattle expected to trade steady to higher.
