Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers were mostly steady. This week was another large high quality offering of feeder steers and heifers and prices reflected that. Slaughter cows were 10.00 lower on breaker cows and mostly steady on the rest. Supply and demand were both good.
