Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers 10.00-20.00 higher. Feeder heifers 10.00-25.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand very good. Supply heavy. The week off combined with a higher market and very dry conditions gathered lots of cattle including several high quality consignments which saw producers well rewarded for their genetics and management. We may not have recognized it at the time but the modest strength seen in fed cattle prices the previous couple of weeks even with an undervalued June live contract on the packers side portended a late spring price spike that took flight last week with prices as high as 190.00/cwt in the north. Tuesday's large advance in cutout values makes further gains look possible with continued tight supplies and strong demand. The feeder world has followed suit in recalibrating prices with the CME feeder index gaining 11.00/cwt over the past week.
