Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers and heifers 2.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand very good. Supply light. Runs continue to be light since rain returned to the area although a good test of the market should come next week with several loads of yearlings expected.
