Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last weeks sale, feeder steers under 600 lbs 3.00-12.00 higher, over 600 lbs near steady. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs 2.00-5.00 higher, over 550 lbs steady. Slaughter cows 1.00-4.00 lower. Demand good. Supply light. There was some optimism showing in the feeder trade Wednesday with the fed market in better shape now than most would have predicted 45 days ago and recent feedlot placement totals indicating the possibility for further advance into early 2020.
