Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers under 500 lbs steady, 500-600 lbs 3.00-5.00 lower, and over 600 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers 1.00-4.00 higher. Slaughter cows 5.00-6.00 higher. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. Friday's Cattle on Feed report contained a bearish placement reading of 106, most of which came from early movement of drought stricken cattle weighing 700 lbs and down. The slaughter volume continues to improve at a painfully slow pace with last weeks total missing the mark by about 25.000 head.
