Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers and heifers mostly steady. Slaughter cows 6.00-8.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Supply heavy. Similar market to last week for numbers with lots of nice cattle again and still hard to sell the handful of big bawling calves. Feeder cattle channels have absorbed pretty big numbers from this area in the past two weeks as producers have used the nice stretch of late fall weather to do their year end marketing.
