Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers 7.00-15.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 450 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, over 450 lbs 4.00-8.00 higher. Slaughter cows 3.00-7.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply heavy. Good buyer attendance for another outstanding feeder offering this week with lots of top quality calves in town. What was already set up to be a good feeder trade got an additional boost with fed cattle trading higher again Wednesday as packers continue struggling to find enough market ready cattle

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
