Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend, Slaughter cows steady. Very light movement of feeder cattle in the area this week. Friday's Cattle on Feed report may be somewhat friendly again with the placement guess at 97 percent. Recent lighter placements and high priced feed may leave packers hungrier than they've been in a long time somewhere in the summer/fall period, but for now they remain fully in control with fed cattle unable to get any traction due to the current ample supplies.
