Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks: Feeder steers 3.00 to 5.00 higher, heifers steady to 1.00 higher. Demand for this large offering of feeder cattle was good. Black hided cattle continue to be in biggest demand creating wide price gaps. Special grass offering brought in several lots with several semi loads up for bids at a time. The large lots of yearlings caught several buyers attention and woke up the market today. CME Feeder Cattle and Corn both closed higher today. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls steady.
