Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold steady to 2.00 lower. Trade activity was moderate on light to moderate demand. Local pastures are in good condition after recent rains and lots of sunshine this week but receipts remain curbed due to a declining market. Slaughter cows and bulls traded steady.
