Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, Stocker cattle steady to firm in a light test. Not enough feeder cattle this week for accurate trends. Quality not as attractive as last week due to light offerings. Slaughter cow weak to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls firm. Trade active with moderate demand.
