Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers firm to 4.00 higher except some heifers near 475 lbs steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 lower. Demand good. Supply moderate. Different week same story with the feeder market continuing to gain a little strength and the cash feeder index around 3.00/cwt higher than last week.The choice cutout has stabilized and maybe put in a bottom above where many thought although weekly kills have never quite gotten to year ago levels either.
