As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, bulk of the feeders traded 10.00 to 15.00 lower in most classes. We saw the cattle futures market open and close lower again today, but there was a good offering of feeder steers and heifers with good demand from buyers throughout the sale. Slaughter cows and bulls traded 2.00 to 4.00 lower.
