Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 higher. Special cow sale followed the feeders. Cattle futures continued to grind higher Wednesday with live contracts gaining 100-150 points supported by strong demand and good potential for a higher fed trade again this week.
