As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 550 lbs steady to 3.00 lower, over 550 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 2,00-6.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher. Demand moderate to good. Supply heavy. Feeder futures contracts closed around 3.00/cwt lower Wednesday. August live cattle moved discount to June with a return to a fed market that is for all the cattle looming at some point when slaughter levels finally get back to normal.
