Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale four weeks ago, feeder steers 10.00-20.00 higher. Feeder heifers 15.00-30.00 higher. Slaughter cows 5.00-7.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply moderate, It's been a long break at Interstate Regional between the holiday schedule and winter weather while the feeder market has continued to move higher thanks partly to record high fed prices with last weeks northern trade up to 2.05/cwt.
