Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows steady. Light offering with the November feeder specials beginning next week. Fed cattle supplies may be tightening somewhat with packers pushing the market 1.00-2.00/cwt higher so far this week.
