Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 3.00 lower with instances of 12.00 except, 900 lbs - 950 lbs 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher except 500 lbs - 550 lbs 1.00 to 4.00 lower. Demand for this nice offering of eye appealing cattle was good. Rounds of shots, vaccination program and hide color are all factors that influence the buyers decisions. Several lots of cattle were hauled in on Saturday with the majority being hauled in on Sunday. Market reports speculate heifers likely to increase at a faster rate than their steer counterparts, simply because more producers are searching for heifers. CME Feeders and Corn closed lower. Slaughter cows and bulls steady.
