Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 600 lbs steady to 6.00 lower, 600-750 lbs steady to 4.00 higher and over 750 lbs not tested. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand uneven. Supply moderate. Live cattle futures seem to have stabilized while feeders lost another 170 points Tuesday as widespread wet weather and lack of planted acres are lowering the potential of the 2019 corn crop.
