Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 650 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, over 650 lbs steady to 1.00 lower. Feeder heifers steady to firm except some under 400 lbs 2.00-3.00 lower. Few slaughter cows steady to 5.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Muddy conditions have limited cattle movement in the area this week. Fed cattle prices are tracking sideways lower again this week although help may be around the corner with daily slaughter numbers picking up the pace. Fall feeder contracts are at 183.00+/cwt even as corn continues to move higher.
