As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers 6.00-10.00 lower. Feeder heifers 2.00-4.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Demand moderate. Supply moderate. Offering mostly fall calves again but without some of the larger reputation consignments we saw last week. Feeders are lower this week with feed costs continuing to rise although corn futures did ease back on Wednesday. Projected cost of gain for cattle going on feed is now around 1.15/lb. On the fed side, prices have faded after making a push higher a few weeks ago with sales steady to 1.00 lower so far this week and no signs of any leverage to improve the market on the horizon.
