Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers sold 1.00-3.00 higher, with feeder heifers 2.00-4.00 higher over the previous week. There was good demand for all classes of feeder and slaughter cattle, with moderate offerings and good buyer activity this week. Buyers showed good interest in steer cattle and cattle with favorable condition as cool temperatures and damp weather continue throughout the region.
