Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 500 lbs 10.00-15.00 higher, over 500 lbs 3.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers 3.00-12.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply light. The feeder track continues to get faster, fueled this week by another round of higher fed cattle sales along with a lower trending corn trade.
