Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 3.00 higher, with instances of 21.00. Feeder heifers 2.00 to 5.00 higher, with instances of 12.00. Demand for this eye appealing offering of cattle was good, light cattle were a little less active this week vs last. The biggest factor to get bidders attention was rounds of shots. Several lots of cattle were hauled in on Saturday, while most came in on Sunday. Some cattle carried a small amount of tag, which seemed not to be a major decisioning factor for buyers. There is considerable optimism in the cattle market the last few weeks. Simply supply dynamics, as well as, beef demand have analyst thinking these higher prices could stick around for near future. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher in a light test. Bulls steady in alight test.
