Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers and heifers 2.00-4.00 higher. Slaughter cows 3.00-4.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Fairly rapid auction and several good sized consignments this week with the largest draft consisting of 113 head of 835 lb black hided long yearling steers. Optimism continues in feeder auctions with feeder futures higher Wednesday and the fed trade making another small advance so far this week.
