Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 lower. Light run heading into the holiday weekend. The big news Wednesday was the USDA acreage report which sent new crop corn limit higher as corn came up 1.1 million acres short of the average trade guess. August feeders fell 275 points on the news while deferred live contracts gained 30-90 points, likely in anticipation of higher feed and reduced tonnage.
