Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers steady to 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 2.00 higher with advance under 500 lbs. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 lower. Demand good. Supply moderate. The fed cattle trade has been 2.00-3.00/cwt higher so far this week although improvement in beef cutout values seems to have stalled for the moment. Cow sale following the feeders was highlighted by the Kreisler complete dispersal, one the top commercial herds in the area with generations of selection for function, productivity and disposition.
