Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last Tuesday, feeder steers steady to firm. Feeder heifers steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 higher. Demand good. Supply light. Muddy conditions slowed cattle movement with a nice offering expected next week. Cattle futures were a little lower Tuesday with downward pressure coming from other related markets. The reduced slaughter numbers that have cost fed cattle sellers millions to start the year are continuing but have shown some improvement to start the week.
