As filed

No price trend established on the feeders with few meaningful comparisons available with last weeks larger, higher quality offering. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower. Demand good. Supply light. Mostly small consignments this week with no front end deals for buyers to take hold of. Packers are hoping to back fed cattle down another notch but that task looks tougher mid week with beef in cold storage reported below the five year average, carcass weight data remaining very bullish and choice cutout values still gradually gaining.
