Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold mostly steady, feeder heifers were mostly steady. On feeders today, lighter fleshed and weaned animals brought a premium and captured the most buyer interest. Fleshy unweaned cattle held the market back some. Slaughter cows were 5.00 to 10.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 3.00 to 9.00 higher. Supply on feeders was light and moderate on slaughter cattle. Demand was good on both fronts.
