Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 5.00-10.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady compared to last week. Demand good. Supply light. Conditions have improved greatly since last week with feeder futures advancing considerably and with the weather much improved. Beef cutout values are also seeing some strength with fed cattle expected to trade higher this week.
