As filed

Compared to last week's heavy supply, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower. Most decline on cattle going on feed. Demand was good for grass type cattle with moderate demand for feedlot placements. Downward pressure on the CME cattle boards and upward gains on the corn boards put pressure on Wednesday market. Overall cattle quality was not as attractive as last week. Next week will be a Special pair and bred cow auction. Next calf and feeder sales will be in two weeks on May 5th.
