Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers 3.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs near steady. Heifers over 600 lbs sold with a higher undertone but with few comparable sales from last week. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 lower. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Strong feeder offering was highlighted by two large consignments of outstanding, non-weaned but vaccinated fall calves with some of the days highest prices on 500-550 lb heifers coming on those reputation bawling calves.
