Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 650 lbs 4.00-8.00 higher, over 650 lbs steady. Feeder heifers 2.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Feeder contracts are losing ground so far this week with corn somewhat higher. Good opportunity to move cattle with milder temps and highly variable but much need rain throughout the area.

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