Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last trended auction four weeks ago, feeder steers under 650 lbs 3.00-12.00 higher, over 650 lbs steady. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 4.00-15.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Several nice consignments on hand to start out the new year.
