Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on a limited market test, feeder steers steady to firm. Feeder heifers near steady. Slaughter cows 3.00-4.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Light run with the hot weather and improved pasture situation in the area. Several nice bred cows continued to see improving demand again this week. Friday's Cattle on Feed report found a higher than expected placement figure likely due mostly to tempting prices along with dry weather in some areas while the biannual inventory report confirmed that cattle numbers are continuing to shrink overall.
