As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers 2.00-6.00 lower except several better quality 475-550 lbs steady to firm. Slaughter cows steady. Demand uneven. Supply light. Turbulent times in the feeder market at the moment with the board moving sharply lower in recent days. Seasonally large price spreads seen depending on quality and weaning status.
