Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, a very light test this week with limited comparisons as most of the feeders sold in small groups and packages selling with a weak to slightly lower undertone on a few comparable sales, with a light test of 500-550 lb heifers selling mostly steady. Slaughter cows on a nice offering sold firm to 3.00 higher. Light offering this week as last week's liquidation selling in the futures lead to a pullback in in feeder receipts this week with volatility in the commodity markets.
