Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers mostly steady. Feeder heifers 2.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply moderate. There's a better tone to the market so far this week with feeder futures able to hold Monday's big gains despite a rebound in the corn on Tuesday. The combination of beef rationing and strong demand has the choice cutout up to a whopping. 312.37/cwt. This weeks estimated harvest of 660k sounded good but will be coming from off the pace with numbers so far looking like more of the same.
