Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Supply light. Beef demand continues to be excellent with fed cattle 3.00/cwt higher last week and another advance looking likely this week. The latest CME feeder index is also higher. Much needed widespread rain fell in the area over the past 24 hours with numerous 2.00+ inch reports.
