Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers and heifers mostly 5.00-15.00 lower with some greener steers and bulls steady. Slaughter cows steady to firm. Demand good. On a light test the feeder market was fairly resilient Tuesday despite the current tariff chaos and with no time frame for a resolution. The back months of live cattle futures saw a modest bounce after a few trading days of big losses.
