Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 500 lbs 6.00-10.00 higher, over 500 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower.. Demand good to very good. Supply heavy. Lots of feeders moving and several nice consignments again this week with especially strong demand for the light steers. Cattle futures were lower Tuesday due to concern about big losses in beef cutout values so far this week.

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Missouri auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
