Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers unevenly steady. Demand for this nice offering of light flesh, green cattle was good. Several loads of pre-conditioned yearlings this week. CME Feeder Cattle down, corn higher. Executive order signed today, next step toward securing a steady beef supply, and increasing opportunities for profit to be made producers. Slaughter cows Breaker and Lean steady to 1.00 lower, Boner steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter Bulls 4.00 lower.
