Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on limited comparisons with the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 700 lbs 3.00-12.00 higher with a few over 700 lbs near steady. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 5.00-15.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady. Slaughter cows steady to firm. Demand good to very good. Supply light. Cattle movement has really slowed in the area the past couple of weeks with the much improved pasture situation while demand for light cattle has gotten even stronger with the better grazing outlook and with December corn back just below 5.00/bu.
