Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on very limited comparisons with the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 2.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady compared to last week. With October in the rear view mirror producers brought a nice feeder offering to town. The cattle outlook continues to brighten so far this week with strong beef demand and apparently tightening fed supplies pushing the feedlot trade and futures prices higher.
