Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last reported sale three weeks ago, feeders sold with a steady undertone. Despite a light supply, some attractive packages of cattle made their way to town and found moderate to good demand as cattle futures posted another positive day Wednesday and market conditions are much improved compared to a few weeks ago. Corn harvest is getting into full swing with good drying weather recently. A light test of slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower.
