Compared to last week:  Feeder steers 5.00 to 10.00 lower, heifers steady to 
5.00 lower.  Moderate demand for yearlings, light demand for the few packages 
of spring born calves.  Many long strings of attractive yearling steers and 
heifers, ranging in flesh from light grass flesh to heavier feed yard flesh.  
Cattle feeders are back on the defensive after last week's downturn in the cash 
fat cattle market and the falling futures contracts.  Much concern exists as 
outgoing fed cattle post large losses and the futures contracts point towards 
steeper losses.
