Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers 3.00-6.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 3.00-5.00 higher, few over 600 lbs 2.00-4.00 lower. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 lower. The feeder trend is a bit misleading as we are comparing to when the market was sharply higher just before the coronavirus scare came back with a vengeance. April feeders were up 1.60/cwt Wednesday and demand for the lighter cattle has rebounded strongly although a handful of untrended heavier steers over 750 lbs sold with a sharply lower undertone. Several nice offerings of grass cattle this week.
