As filed

Compared to last week, a light test of feeders sold with a steady to weak undertone. Demand was moderate for a light supply. Cattle futures have seen sharp losses the last 3 trading sessions after a disappointing fed trade at steady money when it was thought fat cattle could gain several dollars. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.
