311 head crossed the scales today. Today's fed cattle were $2-$3 lower than a week ago for choice cattle and $4-$5 lower for select grades.  The choice/select spread has grown to $30.00 and anything of questionable grade sells way back from the top.  Slaughter cow prices were steady on a very good kind today.  Bulls continue to be very popular with most packers and competition for them is very keen.
