Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers and heifers traded mixed. Not enough numbers of feeders for a comparison this week. It appears we are about at the end of the fall run of feeders. Mostly small lots of feeders this week. Mostly producers are cleaning out their lots of what feeders are left in the country. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition and lighter weights were in most demand by buyers to be put on grass for the summer. Demand moderate for todays offering.
