Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale three weeks ago, feeder steers under 650 lbs 2.00-8.00 higher, over 650 lbs steady. Feeder heifers steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Strong interest in good quality 5 weight steer cattle to graze. The futures trade has been all over the place to start 2021 as factors such as the weak dollar, slowly declining carcass weights, sharply higher feed costs and economic uncertainly battle it out for market direction in the new year.
