As filed

First reported sale in 3 weeks, recent price comparison not available, higher undertones on all weights of steers and heifers. Very good demand for this very large offering of feeder cattle. The market was very active as the cash fed cattle market set new all-time record high prices last week, up to 201.00. The Live Cattle futures made gains but are about 6.00 under the current cash fed cattle market. Feeder Cattle futures were higher, but can't keep up with the rapidly rising cash feeder cattle markets. Many high quality steers and heifers offered, flesh condition mostly moderate, to moderate plus at times. The weather has been mild, lacking any snow cover which has allowed cattle to stay comfortable and gain easily, which has resulted in some cattle carrying more flesh. The house was full of eager buyers as the strength of cash fed cattle market has cattle feeders in a profitable position on their yearling cattle they placed earlier in the year. A large offering expected again next week as cattle producers continue their winter marketing.
