Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 500 Lbs sold 7.00 to 10.00 higher steers over 500 Lbs were mostly 10.00 lower both on light tests of comparable cattle from last week. Feeder heifers were stronger this week selling mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher on all ranges, again, on a light test on comparable cattle from last week. Slaughter cows were 3.00 to 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 5.00 to 9.00 higher. Supply was good with most of the offering of feeders being weaned or value added, this helped push the market higher. Buyer attendence was good and with special interest on weaned cattle.
