Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows 8.00-10.00 higher. Demand good. Supply light. Smaller feeder offering with the very warm and humid weather. Live and feeder contracts had a solid day Wednesday as beef demand continues to perform admirably through possibly the last burdensome fed supplies for quite some time.
