Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 650 lbs steady to 3.00 lower, over 650 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Demand good. Supply heavy. Good buyer attendance for an outstanding feeder offering with some of the areas top producers represented again this week. Although the corn has eased back some this week the cattle outlook remains the same with optimism over the supply side by later in the year while the demand side is clouded by talk of recession and consumer dollars being redirected by high energy prices.
