Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers 4.00 to 8.00 lower, feeder heifers 5.00 to 10.00 lower. This week's offering consisted of a good amount of strings of light fleshed fall calves and moderate to heavy fleshed yearlings. Moderate demand for the light fleshed calves but light demand for yearlings as these cattle are heavier and will reach finished weights in the third and fourth quarter of the year where these months are the weakest of the next 6 contract months. June Live Cattle fell below 107.00 which is only adding more concern to cattle feeders. CME corn futures have made large gains in the last two weeks which is also negatively affecting the feeder cattle market. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher, bulls steady.
