As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers and heifers under 600 lbs 6.00-12.00 lower, over 600 lbs not well tested. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Demand moderate. Supply light. Cattle, corn and oil futures were all lower Wednesday. Small feeder offering with a nice run expected next week.
