Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers and heifers 2.00-4.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Much better cattle handling weather this week with more moderate temps currently in the extended forecast. Cow movement seems to have slowed as most pastures have greened up with slaughter cow prices back nearly to pre July 4th levels.
