Reporter comment USDA

As filed

The last Reported Feeder Cattle Sale was 4 weeks ago, therefore no market comparisons may be made. Despite the erratic moves in both the Grain and Livestock complexes of the Futures Markets there was Good Demand for a few Strings and Several Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on a Moderate Market. Much of the Supply carried Moderate Flesh, many of which were Bangs Vaccinated heifers that had to be liquidated due to the persistent drought in the area. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is April 19.
