Reporter comment USDA

As filed

*Close* Compared to last week: Due to last week's limited supply of feeder steers, not enough comparable weights available for accurate market trend. Feeder heifers sold mostly steady to 2.00 higher. Calves limited supply, not enough for a market trend. Slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Bulls too lightly tested for an accurate market trend, higher undertone noted. Overall, demand good, quality average to mostly attractive.
