Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows steady. Typically light post Labor Day offering although there were several packages of nice new crop steer calves under 550 lbs. Futures started the trading week higher Tuesday following last weeks losses with cutout values and fed cattle prices currently trending seasonally lower.
