Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last weeks lighter offering, feeder steers under 500 lbs steady to 2.00 lower, over 500 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Demand good. Supply moderate. First of the May feeder specials with several of the highest prices coming on the strings of reputation unweaned, double vaccinated fall calves. Overall good feeder trade despite the heat with some consignments optinh out due to the unseasonably warm weather.
