Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 650 lbs 5.00-15.00 lower, over 650 lbs 2.00-5.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 10.00-15.00 lower, over 600 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady. Demand uneven. Supply moderate. Feeder cattle futures have been headed mostly the wrong way since the last trended sale, Several consignments of front end yearling steers and heifers weighing 600-750 lbs still found good demand with considerable resistance on the bawling calves due to seasonal health issues and a current lack of takers.
