Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last trended sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 5.00-20.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher compared to last week. Demand good to very good. Supply heavy. The feeder market is sharply higher with large numbers moving around the circuit this week following the lead of current record breaking feedlot sales. In a bit of a surprise, feeder futures sold off Wednesday losing 4.50/cwt despite a lower corn trade.
