Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, (last week was a special bed cow sale) feeder cattle under 650 lbs had few good comparisons as this week's receipts were mostly all new crop calves weighing under 650 lbs with many weaned 30 days or less and carrying flesh. Few comparable sales traded with a steady to firm undertone. Another large offering of slaughter cows sold mostly steady. Demand was moderate to good on the calves with supply moderate. Cattle on Feed Report was issued Friday afternoon with On Feed at 102 percent with the average guess at 100 percent; Placements came in on the bearish side at 99.6 percent with the average guess at 92.3 percent; Marketings were in line at 98 percent.
