Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 550 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, over 550 lbs 2.00-6.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Similar market action to last week as falling corn prices are strengthening the feeders with fall feeder contracts once again eyeing the 160.00/cwt mark. There is no such advance in fed price with the trade so far this week at 119.00-120.00/cwt. The average 1,400 lb fed steer is currently worth over $3,000/head including the drop value. Friday's Cattle on Feed Report was either side of neutral depending on who was doing the interpretation.
