Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 650 lbs 3.00-12.00 higher, over 650 lbs 1.00-3.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 700 lbs 2.00-6.00 higher, over 700 lbs not tested. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Strong seasonal demand seen for the good quality light grazing cattle under 550 lbs which is being aided by the bullish feeder cattle outlook and fall feeder contracts that are inching toward the 190.00/cwt mark. Cattle movement is somewhat limited with last weeks rain and snow now turning to mud.
