Reporter comment USDA
As filedCompared to last week: Feeder cattle trades lightly tested. Few comparable steer trades sold 8.00-10.00 lower. Feeder heifers not established. Demand moderated some this week as cattle futures started the week lower. Good rains fell early week but more will be needed to make a good dent in the drought.
