Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers sold with steady to higher undertones, except 1100 lbs - 1150 lbs steady to 4.00 lower. Demand for this large eye appealing offering was good. The rain brought in a few extra buyers today. Some nice green grass calves were brought in today since the pasture is dried up. The light weight calves are hard to find right now creating a frenzy of bidders at the auction today. CME Feeders closed lower along with corn. Slaughters cows 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold with higher undertones.
