As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers 2.00-5.00 lower. Feeder heifers steady, Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply light. Feeder futures made nice gains Wednesday and seem to have stabilized somewhat after losing around 12.00/cwt over the past few weeks. Cutout values are eroding fairly rapidly but are historically very high while this weeks fed cattle trade looks to be near steady.
