As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 600 lbs 3.00-6.00 lower, over 600 lbs 6.00-8.00 lower. Feeder heifers 4.00-10.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. Negative news has been dominating the cattle market with higher corn prices and trade spats sending futures reeling although Tuesday's trade on the board did finally produce a bounce of around 350 points on feeder contracts.
