Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold with a higher undertone on a light test, with all other weights of steers trading steady to firm. Feeder heifers weighing 500-725 lbs sold 3.00-6.00 higher with a light test of 4 weight heifers selling with a higher undertone. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate. Last week's upward movement in the CME cattle futures cooled down on Monday to start the week, but seemed to have little effect on the feeder market.
