Compared to last week:  Feeder steers and heifers 5.00 to 15.00 lower.  Demand 
good for steers and heifers still, yet there was is a lot of uncertainty in the 
marketplace currently and that led to a lower feeder cattle market.  As cash 
fed cattle have slipped down to 235.00-237.00 level, and the futures contracts 
not offering much support, cattle feeders were determined to buy cattle 
cheaper.  Lighter auction receipts this week as another shot of winter weather 
moved through the area.

CORN Strategies Snapshot

TREND: The trend for May corn is revised to higher for now.
