Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher, heifers 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand for this large offering of green cattle was very good. Several loads of pre-conditioned yearling steers and heifers offered this week. Most cattle were hauled in over night, making the weighing conditions very fair for bidders. Cattle were very clean and green this week, CME Feeder Cattle Market closed down, along with corn. Slaughter cows Breaker steady, Boner and Lean to few to make a meaningful comparison. Slaughter bulls 3.00 to 5.00 lower.
