Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to 2 weeks ago: Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers too few to make a complete price comparison, higher undertones prevailed. Very good demand for this nice offering of light fleshed steers and heifers. Many cattle in light enough weight and flesh to run on grass as yearlings. Cash fed cattle market 183.00 really helping to add optimism to the market place. This report will next be released when late summer/ early fall marketing season begins.
