Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers steady to 4.00 higher with advance mostly over 600 lbs. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Feeder offering included a large consignment of backgrounded yearlings weighing 685-890 lbs along with several good quality fall calves weighing 550 lbs and down. The cattle market appears to be taking on a more positive tone this week with feeder futures and beef cutout values both possibly carving out a bottom following the recent downturn. Fed cattle are expected to be steady at best with the slaughter pace likely reduced.
