Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the most recent feeder cattle sale two weeks ago, feeder steers traded 8.00 to 12.00 higher with spots up to 16.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 700lbs traded 10.00 to 16.00 higher with spots up to 20.00 higher, and heifers over 700lbs were not well tested. Demand was very good with many active buyers present ready to fill orders after the icy weather in the area early this week and last. Supply was moderate to heavy with several high quality strings in the offering throughout the day.
