Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, a light test this week of feeder steers and heifers weighing 400-700 lbs sold with a steady to firm undertone, with weights over 700 lbs not tested. Demand was moderate to good with supply light. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm on a light test. After last week's sharp losses in the cattle futures, futures found some support on Monday hoping to find some stability in the market.
