As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 500 lbs steady, over 500 lbs 2.00-4.00 lower. Feeder heifers steady. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. Overall quality was down compared to last weeks feeder offering. Not a lot to get bulled up over at the moment with unseasonably warm weather, cutouts continuing to struggle sideways down and fed cattle expected to turn lower in fairly short order.
