Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher with advance mostly under 550 lbs. Feeder heifers steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. The cattle outlook continues to be rosy with strong demand and reduced tonnage pushing the market higher. Beef cutouts are moving higher so far again this week making another higher feedlot trade quite possible.
