Compared to last week, feeder steers sold steady to 3.00 higher while feeder heifers were not well tested. Steer and heifers calves sold uneven from 6.00 lower to 6.00 higher with the amount of preconditioning being the deciding factor. Demand was moderate to good, on a light supply. A couple of stick-out drafts were 7 head of 334 lb. fancy black steers which sold for 6.00/cwt and 14 head of 389 lb. fancy black heifers which sold for 490.00/cwt. Pastures are greening up following the much needed rain last week. Feeder Cattle Futures showed good gains on Tuesday while Live Cattle Futures saw modest gains. Boxed Beef Cutouts are continuing their downward trend.
