Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs 5.00-10.00 lower, over 550 lbs steady with a lower undertone on some fleshy/unweaned. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Supply heavy. It felt like a post-Labor Day feeder auction with lots of new crop calves and larger price spreads based on quality, flesh and weaning status. Cattle futures tumbled Tuesday as bullish cattle fundamentals took a back seat to poor inflation news, a sharply lower stock market and the likelihood of more coming interest rate hikes.
