Compared to yesterday: Feeder steers under 500 lbs sold with higher undertones, over 500 lbs mostly steady with few instances to 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 4.00 higher. Very good demand for this special feeder cattle sale. This sale was held after yesterday's large sale as the weather finally moderated, and the sheer number of consignors who were ready to get their feeders shipped to town and sold after the last few weeks that have been horrible for livestock and their caretakers. Temps right around 30 degrees the last two days, fully 50 degrees warmer than it was last week. Many long strings, and numerous smaller consignments of attractive, home-raised, long time weaned steers and heifers, along with many consignments of yearling steers and heifers offered in load lots. The market was incredibly active for the light weight cattle, as the supply of these types is getting tighter. A higher day in the cattle futures really helped to support the feeder market at the auction. Cattle feeders have gotten the snow cleared out of their pens and were ready to take incoming cattle this week. Another large offering expected for next week.
