Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 600 lbs steady, over 600 lbs 3.00-7.00 lower. Feeder heifers 2.00-7.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady. Demand moderate. Supply light. The feeder index and the board have been trending lower since the sale two weeks ago partly due to concerns over large feedlot numbers and beef demand this fall.
