Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows uneven with breaking and boning cows steady to 1.00 lower and lean cows 2.00-3.00 higher. The bullishness continues with fed cattle trading higher last week and the November feeder contract currently at 244.00/cwt. Light feeder offering with mostly slaughter cows this week. It's getting scary dry in much of this area as late frost and light moisture have left producers with little hay and not enough forage to make it very many weeks without a change in the weather pattern.
