Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady on a light test. Steer and heifer calves too lightly tested for a market trend. Trading activity was moderate on moderate to good buyer demand. Receipts were light today due to the winter storm that moved into the trading area over the weekend, snow totals ranged from 5 to 12 inches.
