Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last special three weeks ago, on limited comparisons of comparable weights and quality feeders, most feeders sold with sharply higher undertones with many feeders under 750 lbs selling mostly 10.00-20.00 higher. Good rains over the last couple of weeks has much improved pasture conditions along with demand especially for feeders weighing 400-650 lbs. Demand was good to very good with supply moderate. Many mixed cross feeders in Friday's sale sold with moderate to good demand with the good black hided feeders and better quality cattle selling with good to very good demand. as there was a wide variance in quality. Slaughter cows sold steady with slaughter steers and heifers trading steady to 2.00 higher.
