Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 600 lbs 6.00-12.00 higher, few over 600 lbs 3.00-6.00 higher. Feeder heifers 4.00-8.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady.. Demand good to very good. Supply light. The feeder market seems to be finding its footing this week with cattle futures starting the week sharply higher. Beef cutout values may be starting to work higher which should help the fed cattle trade.
