Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last feeder auction two weeks ago, steers under 500 lbs sold sharply lower, heavier weights and all weights of heifers steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 3.00 higher. The local cash trade enjoyed a stronger market than some anticipated after a bearish cattle on feed report last Friday. Several large strings of cattle gave buyers some numbers to build around with pretty good quality throughout. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
