As filed

Feeder cattle futures closed lower on Wednesday, with the March CME Feeder Cattle contract settling at $348.725, down $4.625 on the day. The decline reflected broad pressure across the cattle complex as traders pulled back from recent highs. Slaughter cows 2.00-9.00 lower. Slaughter bulls steady in a light test. Trade active with good demand.
