Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers under 550 lbs steady, over 550 lbs firm to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Feeder offering mostly small packages of lighter cattle weighing 400-600 lbs. Strong demand again this week for the increasing supply of unweaned calves despite the unseasonably warm weather.
