Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers 2.00-5.00 higher and feeder heifers 5.00-10.00 higher. Buyers were aggressive on all weights and most of the cattle were green in condition which helped push prices to levels not seen in a few years. Demand very good and supply moderate.
