As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold sharply lower. Slaughter cows steady. With two weeks of lower trade to catch up with, most weights of cattle sold 5.00 to 15.00 lower. Cattle futures mounted a comeback Wednesday but grain pushed higher again as well, with projected cost of gain roughly the same or higher than the current cost of fat cattle. Mostly small consignments on offer with a higher than normal percentage of unweaned cattle in the mix. Supply and demand moderate.
