Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows steady. Light numbers with rain and mud in the area but a nice offering expected next week. The feeder market is continuing higher with feeder futures sharply higher on the week so far.

Missouri weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Missouri auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
