Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Demand good. Supply moderate. Strong demand for a few consignments of weaned program cattle. Lots of bawling calves that still found good demand for the most part except some on the plainer end which usually get hard to find takers for this time of year.
