Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers steady to 3.00 lower based on a limited market test. Slaughter cows steady. Demand moderate. Supply light. Typically light pre-Thanksgiving run. Fridays's Cattle on Feed report was somewhat better than expected with the 110 percent placement figure falling 2 points short of the trade guess although the November placement number may also be large.
