Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers 2.00-8.00 higher. Feeder heifers 4.00-10.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good to very good. Supply light. A stout feeder trade ignored the futures price action for the most part as estimates of a shrinking crop sent corn contracts sharply higher Tuesday and pushed feeder futures around 200 points lower.
