Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, feeder steers under 650 lbs 4.00-8.00 higher, over 650 lbs unevenly steady. Feeder heifers steady. Slaughter cows not trended but sold with a higher undertone. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. Feeder cattle are getting back on the road this week although on a somewhat limited basis with the rising temps rapidly turning last weeks snow and frozen ground to mud. Live cattle futures worked lower Tuesday, seemingly unimpressed by the notion of a higher fed trade with showlists smaller this week as cattle recover from recent storms.
