Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 600 lbs steady to 3.00 lower, over 600 lbs steady to 3.000 higher. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs steady to 2.00 lower, over 500 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply heavy. Lots of reputation consignments this week despite the warm weather and lots of hay being baled. Several were still unweaned but found good demand due to the quality and strong vaccination programs. The fed harvest pace is approaching normal, the beef pipeline is filling and cutout values are dropping rapidly this week.
