Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 2,00-6.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Good buying condition seen on several of the lighter cattle coming out of the past couple weeks of harsh winter weather. Packers seem to still be in control of the fed trade this week despite strong cutout values with prices looking to be steady to maybe 1.00/cwt higher.
