Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs steady to 3.00 lower, over 500 lbs steady to firm. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. Less quality in the feeders than recent weeks with no consignments to really push the upper prices ranges. Falling grain prices and generally improved pasture conditions would seem to create some further upside for feeders although live cattle futures were softer on Tuesday as beef cutout values have been unable to hold the line following last weeks increased slaughter pace.
