Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on very limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers 2.00-6.00 higher. Feeder heifers 2.00-8.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Demand very good. Supply moderate. Lots of demand for the lighter cattle this week. Feeder contracts gained back some of their earlier week losses Wednesday although corn continues to work higher.
