Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and steer calves unevenly steady on a light test. Feeder heifers and heifer calves not enough comparable cattle for a market test. Quality fair to attractive with moderate demand. A light run today due to muddy conditions. Slaughter cows and bulls lightly tested with a higher undertone noted.
