Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers firm to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand moderate. Supply moderate. The feeder market has rebounded some in the past two weeks but there is still not a lot of optimism with the current supply/demand dynamic leaving packers with all the cards and limiting immediate future upside.
