Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 4.00-10.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 lower. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Fed cattle prices are continuing to move higher despite high carcass weights with cutout values surging and market ready numbers more manageable due to the light placements seen in Feb/March.
