As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers steady to 5.00 lower. Feeder heifers 2.00-6.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 lower. Demand moderate. Supply moderate. Several consignments of fancy new crop calves this week with best demand for steers near 500 lbs. Cattle futures made a brief turnaround yesterday before heading back south on Wednesday due to pessimism over our ability to hold fed cattle prices and a corn market that makes new highs on a fairly regular basis.
