Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers near steady. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Demand moderate. Supply moderate. Not a lot of excitement to the feeder trade this week with quality average to below. Angus influence specials are planned for the next two weeks with lots of front end black cattle expected.
