As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers 5.00-8.00 higher except some unweaned steady to 5.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs fully 6.00-12.00 lower, over 500 lbs 3.00-6.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady. Demand uneven. Supply moderate. Cattle futures have stabilized somewhat to start the week while choice cutout values gave back much of their recent gains on Tuesday afternoon.
