As filed

Compared to last Thursday the feeder market was lower with an average quality. Feeder steers and heifers were mostly 6.00 to 8.00 lower with spots of sharply lower. Continued declines in the futures market and concerns over weather conditions and health have decreased interest and demand in the feeder market. There was a large supply of fresh bawling calves today and buyers discounted them severely. Yearling steers, however were mostly steady with good demand. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 4.00 lower with a good supply and slaughter bulls were 3.00 to 5.00 lower with moderate demand.
