Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers and heifers 2.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply heavy. First of the May feeder specials which showcases some of the areas top fall born calves along with some greener yearling cattle. Midday brought a limited feedlot trade at 110/cwt which helped send most futures contracts limit higher and seemed noticeable in some prices as the day went along. Estimated slaughter is up 16,000 so far this week which hopefully marks the beginning of a turnaround in what has been a nightmarish period for those needing to sell fed cattle.
