As filed

Compared to the last trended sale three weeks ago, feeder steers under 600 lbs steady, over 600 lbs 4.00-6.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 5.00-10.00 lower, over 600 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00-5.00 higher. Supply moderate. Demand moderate. The coronavirus has sent cattle futures lower in recent days and has been an expensive news item for most sellers of feeder cattle this week although it remains to be seen how much of the event will turn out to be psychology and if there is any real erosion of beef demand. We'll get our first test of that with this weeks fed trade. Friday's Cattle Inventory report will be interesting and possibly supportive to the market longer term.
