As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 550 lbs 3.00-5.00 lower, over 550 lbs 2.00-4.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs steady to firm, over 550 lbs not well tested. Slaughter cows steady. Demand moderate to good. Supply light. Cattle futures bounced back Wednesday but the feed costs kept piling up as well with new crop corn 20+ cents/bu. higher.
