Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows steady to firm. Light run with the high humidity and heat index. The cattle market continues to be in a fairly good position but with tremendous upside just out of reach as weekly kills are not adequate to supply worldwide demand making the beef way too high and limiting a pull through to higher prices on the feedlot end, although fed supplies are said to be tightening. The choice cutout value Tuesday afternoon was 305.32/cwt.
