Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand good. Light run with rain in the area Tuesday morning and much less need to move cattle with improving pasture conditions. The cattle market looks strong so far this week with beef cutout values seeming to put in a summer low and feeder contracts making strong gains on Tuesday.
