As filed

No recent feeder auction available for a price comparison. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. Best demand seen on steers under 600 lbs suitable for grass. The heavier cattle have lost ground in recent days due largely to rising feed costs with March corn now just under 5.00/bu. Beef cutout values have been sluggish to start the year although fed cattle are expected to trade at least steady this week.
