As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers traded mostly steady except 600-750 lbs firm to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Cattle futures traded with sharp losses on Tuesday, but buyers didn't seem much to care as the demand was good to very good on a moderate supply.
