As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly 3.00-8.00 lower but a few spots traded near steady. The wet spring and delayed planting across the Midwest is making its impact on the corn market that saw sharp gains on Thursday which in turn drove feeder cattle futures to a near limit down move across the board. Despite the current downward trend, demand was moderate to good for the quality cattle. The supply was moderate with quite a bit of variance in quality. Slaughter cows sold mostly 3.00 higher.
