Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No recent price comparison as the last reported sale was three weeks ago, however a sharply higher price trend on feeder steers and heifers from that time was noted. in the past three weeks, the CME Feeder Cattle contracts have been 10.00 to 12.00 higher. The offering was attractive today with several groups of high quality sought after feeder cattle. Demand was good to very good. No recent test of slaughter cows and bulls, however a higher market noted.
