Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows 6.00-10.00 higher. Demand moderate to good. Supply heavy. Mixed news for the cattle as the feedlot trade has firmed a bit while futures are wanting to drift lower this week and corn has bounced off of recent lows. Feeder offering was highlighted by a good consignment of Red Angus cattle which included 100 head of 522 lb steers at 270.00.cwt.
