Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. The feeder market in general is lower this week as we are in uncharted waters with the Covid-19 coronavirus with considerable damage priced in to cattle futures for the next 4-6 months but not much idea of what the real economic impact will turn out to be. Special cow sale followed the feeders with a few dispersal's of middle aged and older bred cows and pairs.
