As filed

Compared to last Thursday the feeder market was lower with an average quality offering. Good quality feeder steers were mostly 3.00 to 8.00 lower, except for the 400-500 lbs steers that were sharply lower with moderate demand. Yearling steers were mixed and uneven ranging from 2.00 higher to 3.00 lower with a good supply. Feeder heifers were steady to 6.00 lower or greater in spots with a good supply and moderate demand. A much softer undertone was seen and noted today as buyers reacted to more negative movement in the futures market. Slaughter cows were 1.00 to 3.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were 2.00 to 3.00 higher with good demand.
