Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable steer trades to test trends, however a definite higher undertone is noted. Feeder heifers not established. Demand remains very good. Heavy rains across much of Oklahoma this month has turned a drought into flooded areas. Much of the state has greened up nicely and rain chances continue in the forecast.
