Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Last feeder special four weeks ago, with today's market sharply higher on all weights of steers and heifers. Cow/calf producers really being rewarded with some nice checks at the pay window as calves are dollaring out at some fantastic prices per head. Demand very good and supply moderate.
