Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday feeder steers and heifers under 600 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 lower. Demand good. Supply moderate. Beef cutout values are higher so far this week and now 20.00/cwt higher than a month ago, partly due to strong export demand. The feedlot trade may also advance again this week with some limited trade Tuesday at 106.00-107.00.
