Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 600 lbs firm to 4.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady. Feeder heifers steady to firm. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 lower. Demand good. Supply moderate. A shrinking feeder supply has the market holding its ground for now despite current pressure from rising corn prices, a softer fed trade and lower trending futures.
