Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers 4.00-8.00 higher with several heifers under 500 lbs fully 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand very good. Supply moderate. Strong local demand for light heifers again this week. Fed cattle gained nearly 1.50/cwt last week with bigger gains looking quite possible based on rapidly advancing cutout values over the past week. Optimism over beef demand and fed cattle upside among other factors have the fall feeder futures currently eyeing the 161.00/cwt mark.
