Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers 2.00 to 4.00 lower, heifers 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Good demand for this offering of yearling steers and heifers off grass. The flesh condition was light and attractive, overall. The market was very active, especially on the longer strings which featured full loads and multiple load lots. The market was under pressure as the futures contracts have been under pressure since the last auction. Next feeder cattle sale will be Oct 6, 2022.
