Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 600 lbs 4.00-8.00 lower with no trend established on weights over 600 lbs. Feeder heifers steady to 4.00 lower with decline under 550 lbs. Slaughter cows steady. Demand moderate. Supply light. Lack of support seems to be the common term right now for the futures trade as the board continued its trend of the past couple of weeks heading south by about another 150 points on Wednesday. The upcoming April feedlot placement figure is expected to be a whopper.
