Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 600 lbs steady to firm, over 600 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 steady, over 600 lbs 1.00-3.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. Considerable interest in the lighter cattle despite the feeder board being sharply lower Tuesday. The same problems persist for the cattle with weekly slaughter running well under what is indicated by beef demand, giving us high beef and cheap cattle for an unknown period of time. Feed costs continue to escalate as the corn market looks for a top.
