Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 500 lbs 4.00--8.00 lower, over 500 lbs steady to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 2.00-8.00 lower, over 600 lbs steady to 2,00 higher. Slaughter cows 5.00-8.00 lower. Demand uneven. Supply moderate. Very much an October feeder trade with good demand for yearlings and less demand for calves that carry a much higher health risk this time of year. The cattle outlook is very mixed at the moment with smaller harvest ready numbers allowing the market to regain some currentness and advance fed prices in the near term while the longer view is less rosy with rising corn prices and high feedlot occupancy overall.
