Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 3.00-6.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher. Increased local interest seen in some of the light heifers with plenty of moisture in this area to start the growing season.Cattle futures are clawing back after significant losses late last week with the fed market finally achieving a firmer tone and cutout values making a strong showing so far this week.
