Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher with advance under 500 lbs. Slaughter cows steady. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. The news for the feeder trade is mostly positive right now as Friday's Cattle on Feed report showed the very gradual decline in feedlot numbers to be continuing thanks to a fairly bullish placement figure. The pace of slaughter continues to deny much leverage to fed cattle sellers but even that has shown improvement the past couple of weeks with feedlot prices predicted to see modest gains this week.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
