Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 600 lbs unevenly steady, 600-700 lbs 1.00-2.00 lower with no comparisons available on steers over 700 lbs. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs steady to 3.00 lower, over 500 lbs 1.00-3.00 higher. Slaughter cows 5.00-8.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. Fed cattle are likely to trade higher again this week with smaller numbers currently available due to the smaller spring placements. Meanwhile feeder futures have lost considerable ground over the last week due in large part to rising corn prices.
