Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers 4.00-10.00 higher. Slaughter cows firm to 2.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply moderate. Mostly light cattle in the feeder offering with several high quality fall calves weighing 350-500 lbs. The cattle market has become even more bullish recently as tight numbers combined with lighter carcass weights pushed cattle to historic highs last week. Fed cattle traded as high as 177/cwt in the north as the market searches for a new supply/demand balance at never before seen prices.
