Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 650 lbs and 850-900 lbs steady to 5.00 higher, other weights 5.00 to 10.00 higher with instances of 15.00 to 18.00 higher. Feeder heifers 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Very good demand for this very large offering of high quality steers and heifers, offering ranged from small consignments to a string of 850 head of home raised steers and heifers. The market was very active throughout the sale, most notably on the big string as the quality was top notch and they were offered in full loads and multiple load lots. The cash fed cattle trade continues to make new all-time historical high prices, up to 212.00. CME Live Cattle futures made big gains throughout the week last week, followed by gains today. Much warmer weather this week, with temps 40 to 50 degrees, which is making for good gaining conditions for feed yard cattle.
