Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold weak to 5.00 lower. According to the Cattle Market Report and Analysis, placements of cattle into feedyards have kept a rapid pace and feedyards in Texas, Colorado, and Kansas are full to the brim. As a result, trade activity and demand remain light to moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly steady to firm on a very light test.
