As filed

Feeders sold with a lower undertone but with no price trend established. Demand moderate. Supply light. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 lower. After seeing a strong rebound in cash feeders last week the market is once again under pressure with feeder futures around 400 points lower on Tuesday due to technical selling with the majority of traders convinced that consumer spending is not going to maintain current beef prices for much longer.
