As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady. Demand moderate to good. Feeder offering not as attractive as last week with more of the average or less quality cattle that usually get harder to trade with the kind of large seasonal movements seen over the past couple of weeks. Fundamentally the cattle market remains strong outside of some new trade concerns with fed cattle predicted to trade steady to 2.00 higher this week at around 142.00/cwt.
