Compared to last week's much lighter offering: Feeder steers and heifers steady to firm. Good to very good demand for this large summertime offering of backgrounded yearling steers and heifers. Many long strings of light to moderate fleshed yearlings were offered in full loads and multiple load lots. The market was active as many farmer feeders and order buyers were ready to buy these yearlings while they had the chance. The cash fed cattle market, and the outlook that the CME Live Cattle contracts are predicting are hanging heavily over the heads of cattle feeders but there is still a lot of interest in feeding yearlings. No sale next week, next feeder cattle sale will be July 9, 2020 expecting 5,000 feeder cattle.
