As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers 2.00-6.00 lower. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 lower. Demand moderate. Supply moderate. Highly volatile feeder futures were at it again midday Wednesday plunging 450-575 points lower and softening the feeder trade. The demand side of the beef equation continues to be a problem with fed prices and beef cutouts both lower again so far this week.
