Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers and heifers 4.00-8.00 higher. Slaughter cows 4.00-5.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply moderate. The feeder market continues to move higher supported by fall feeder contracts priced from 210.00 and 214.00 cwt. Fed cattle are expected to trade higher again this week.
