Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to firm. Demand was moderate for a light supply that included some nice packages of quality cattle. The possibility of improved trade negotiations with China has brought some optimism back into the cattle market. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower.
