Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder cattle offerings too limited this week to make a complete comparison, lower undertones evident. Just a few strings of steers and heifers offered this week as many consignors canceled due to the current weakness in the market. As the futures contracts fell sharply last week, and then rose limit higher today, cattle producers are hesitant to sell cattle as so much uncertainty exists. Feeder cattle special sale scheduled for Apr. 21, 2020.
