Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers and heifers 30.00-50.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady to firm. Demand moderate. Supply light. The feeder market is sharply lower with the latest round of limit down losses seemingly related more to talk of reopening the Mexican border with the out months of feeders off another 11.00-12.00/cwt on Tuesday. The latest feeder index is down 7.30 @ 360.25, an enormous one day drop for a seven day moving average.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
