Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 550 lbs 5.00-15.00 lower, over 550 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs 6.00-12.00 lower, over 550 lbs 3.00-6.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady. Demand moderate. Supply moderate. Fewer orders on the seats this week, especially for the lighter cattle, with some buyers out of the market and some just less aggressive. Weather was likely a factor with rain falling and much more expected this week.
