Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Trade activity and demand was good. There is no trend from last week as last weeks sale was too light to report. Trending from two weeks ago, feeder steers traded mostly 4.00 to 12.00 lower, while feeder heifers seemed to take a bigger hit trading mostly 10.00 to 20.00 lower from two weeks ago. Next available report will be as receipts warrant.
