Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 650 lbs near steady, over 650 lbs firm to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady. Slaughter cows steady.. Several feeder cattle showed up despite the recent rain and mud. Cattle futures continue to run way ahead of the cash market with August feeders currently an astounding 24/cwt premium to the latest feeder cattle index. Carcass weights have dropped in recent weeks and the choice cutout had a good day Tuesday, positive signs as we hope to move up from what are very low fed cattle prices for this time of year compared to recent history.
