Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers had limited sales to compare to. Feeder heifers mostly steady to 5.00 higher on limited comparisons as well. Higher undertones seen on the few comparable trades throughout the day. Bulk of sale came from a handful of consignors with one having 750 head on offer. Good to very good demand on the stock with double to triple vaccinations coming off grass. Feeder cattle futures showing gains of $1-$2 higher across most contracts at end of sale. Fundamentals continue to be in support of the feeder cattle market to start off the week.
