Compared to last Monday: Feeder steers that were front-end/reputation cattle sold steady to 2.00 lower, remainder of the feeder cattle traded 3.00-5.00 lower. All classes of steer and heifer calves lightly tested and too few for an accurate trend. Demand light to moderate. Another light run of cattle again this week, following several days of negative moves at the CME, rains across the state limiting movement as well as the Easter Holiday. Both CME Live and Feeder cattle contracts closed limit down on Monday.
