Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No price trend was established on feeders with the best test seen on 500-600 lb heifers which sold with a higher undertone. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 lower. Supply light. Demand good. Just a few packages of steers over 550 lbs this week, several of which were carrying some hair. The cattle market is continuing its advance on both the feds and feeders with feedlot trade at 104.00-105.00/cwt Wednesday, 4.00 higher than last week.
