Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers 2.00-4.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. The cattle market is continuing its gradual improvement with the fed trade expected to see another small advance this week. A short-lived trip to late September weather is making cattle handling conditions unusually good so far this week.
