Compared to last Tuesday the feeder market was softer due primarily to the downward turn in the futures market. The almost $16.00 drop in the feeder cattle futures market over the past five days has greatly tightened interest and limited demand. Slaughter cows appeared steady with limited comparisons and no test on slaughter bulls.
