As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 500 lbs 2.00-4.00 lower, over 500 lbs steady to firm. Feeder heifers steady. Slaughter cows steady.. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. Several nice consignments of yearlings this week weighing 600-800 lbs. The rally in the cattle market has stalled for now with futures drifting lower so far this week after last weeks strong showing that culminated in a 2.00-3.00 higher feedlot trade.
