Compared to last week, steers and heifers 10.00 to 15.00 lower. Demand moderate to light, supply moderate. Difficult to find good news, but the DJIA showed an impressive run up. Live Cattle closed on the positive side with the exception of the April and June contracts, Feeder Cattle futures closed higher.
