Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers steady except some heifers near 600 lbs 3.00-5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand moderate. Supply light. Receipts were curtailed by rain and muddy conditions. Feeder futures were around 200 points lower Tuesday due to a strong rebound in the corn trade. Fed cattle look likely to trade higher this week based on continued strength in beef cutout values and fantastic export sales.
