Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers and heifers steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply heavy. Good quality feeder offering with several outstanding grass cattle weighing 450-600 lbs. Continued nice weather with lots of feeders moving around the circuit again this week. Fed cattle could trade higher with beef cutout values putting in a solid week so far although live futures did give back some of Tuesdays big gains.
