Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 550 lbs and all weights unweaned calves 6.00-12.00 lower, over 550 lbs 2.00-6.00 lower. Feeder heifers 2.00-7.00 lower. Slaughter cows 3.00-4.00 higher. Demand moderate. Supply moderate. Several of the lighter cattle were carrying plenty of hair given the current weather and the extended forecast. Outside markets and hot weather are working against the cattle this week. Inflation continues. Higher energy continues. Consumers are still buying the gas and the beef although there is much concern about how much beef is going to be in the budget by later in the year.
