As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady to firm. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs 2.00-6.00 lower, over 500 lbs steady. Slaughter cows 8.00-9.00 lower. Demand good. Supply light. Good feeder trade for the most part despite big losses on the board with most feeder contracts down 420-580 points. Beef cutout values continue to struggle with choice falling below 300.00/cwt Tuesday afternoon.
