Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers under 500 lbs steady, over 500 lbs 2.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply moderate. Strong feeder demand despite a sharply lower feeder board and higher corn trade Tuesday. Input costs aside, the cattle outlook is good to start the year with reduced feeder supplies and a strengthening fed cattle market despite excellent fall feeding weather and pesky carcass weights.
