Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. The cattle outlook is better than it has been in a few weeks with feeder futures trending higher at the moment and new crop corn closing below 6.00/bu on Wednesday. The inability to get enough cattle killed on a weekly basis is still a major thorn in our side, making our product higher than it should be and keeping us from getting supply and live price moving in our favor, although fed cattle are gaining a little ground this week. It's about showtime in this area as numerous strings of reputation fall calves will make their way to town in the new few weeks.
