Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 600 lbs unevenly steady, over 600 lbs steady to 2.00 lower on a light test. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 lower with decline under 500 lbs. Slaughter cows firm to 1.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Generally a steady feeder trade but probably a litter better vibe with feeder contracts clawing back early in the week after seeing big losses last week.
