Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 500 lbs 3.00-5.00 higher, over 500 lbs steady. Feeder heifers 5.00-10.00 lower except several under 450 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher.. Slaughter cows 1.00-4.00 lower. Demand good.. Supply heavy. Several good quality consignments this week. Big run again as several producers are selling cattle earlier than planned and in some cases selling heifers kept for replacements due to the shortage of grass in this area. Much like last Wednesday, feeder futures saw huge losses possibly due to some nervousness about longer term beef demand as the recent fed cattle price spike reaches consumers.
