As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 9.00-10.00 lower and feeder heifers were 7.00-9.00 lower. The downward trending futures market and the typical winter weather with heavy rains and big temperature swings is lowering demand and prices on all feeder calves. Slaughter cows traded mostly steady and slaughter bulls were 5.00-6.00 lower.
