Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers steady. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply moderate. The feeder market remains strong despite high feed cost due partly to the optimistic April live contract and what may be a shrinking supply of feeder cattle.
