Demand was good to very good on a moderate to heavy offering. There was a good quality offering of 400-650 lb steers calves on offer Monday along with the yearling steers all sold on and active market. Cash fed cattle market hit the 250.00 mark in the Northern Plains with sales of 248.00-249.00 in the South all giving a lot of optimism to the market.
