Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeders sold mostly 10.00 lower, with some spots of 15.00 lower. The supply of feeders was moderate. The offering was made up of mostly smaller lots of cattle with many unweaned calves in the offering most of which were carrying a bit more flesh than what buyers prefer. Demand was light to moderate as buyers were reluctant to push much currently. Feeder Cattle futures have been a train wreck losing 8.00 to 10.00 dollars in the first two days of this week and that has buyers very nervous. Slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 5.00 lower.
