As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold 10.00 to as much as 20.00 lower. Trade activity was moderate on light to moderate demand. Global markets continue to fall as public events are closed due to Corona Virus, which has a trickle effect on the cattle markets. CME feeder cattle board was locked down the limit.
