No recent price comparisons available on feeders. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply moderate. Cash feeders are recovering much of their losses following last Monday's futures crash with some light weight calves about steady with recent highs. The board was higher Tuesday but still bearish longer term showing fed prices to be at least 10.00/cwt lower next year despite what is likely to be another smaller calf crop. There were several nice feeder consignments this week highlighted by a front end load of black steers weighing 698 lbs @ 275.85.
