Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last trended sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 550 lbs steady to 4.00 higher, over 550 lbs 5.00-8.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs steady, 500-650 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher and over 650 lbs not well tested. Slaughter cows 3.00-4.00 higher on a light test. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. The June fed cattle trade has been better than expected which is probably helping the heavier cattle generate more dollars along with the bullishness over tighter late year cattle numbers.
