As filed

Compared to last Monday the feeder market was lower with a good quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers were mostly 3.00 to 8.00 lower or greater in spots with a good supply and moderate demand. Negative pressure from the futures market coupled with a triple digit heat index and uncertainty in the Middle East limited buyers interest and the premiums they were willing to pay today. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady with a good supply and good demand.
