Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Stocker and feeder steers sold steady to 3.00 lower. Stocker and feeder heifers sold steady to 3.00 lower on a light test. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady. Slaughter bulls were not well tested. Supply was light with good demand for quality and weaker demand for new crop fleshy calves.
