Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers 2.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00-4.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. The cattle market is stronger again this week fueled by a higher trending feedlot trade which is set to see nice gains for the third consecutive week. The fed cattle price chart looks vastly different than a year ago when prices were beginning a rapid descent.
