Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on very limited comparisons with the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 700 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher, with comparisons not available on weights over 700 lbs. Feeder heifers steady to 2,00 higher. Slaughter cows steady compared to last week. Demand good to very good. Supply heavy. Lots of high quality, reputation cattle on hand with much of the offering comprised of fall calves weighing 450-600 lbs selling right off momma with no creep feed and one or two rounds of shots. New crop corn is trending lower at the moment which is helping the feeder market this week. A limited fed trade is taking place from 119.00-121.00/cwt while the weekly kill looks like it could be a smidge higher than we''ve seen recently.
