Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers and heifers 2.00-5.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Demand moderate. Supply heavy. Lots of high quality cattle this week weighing mostly 500-750 lbs. Feed costs will likely continue to be hard on the value of feeder cattle for a good while with March corn closing Wednesday at 5.24/bu. Fed cattle are trading 1.00-2.00 lower this week although we are starting to see some traction in beef cutout values.
