As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers mostly steady. Very good demand for this large offering of feeder cattle. The market was very active, in spite of -10 temps and more bitter cold on the way. Several very long strings of front end type, home raised steers and heifers, offered in load lots and multiple load lots, along with numerous part loads and packages. The quality was very attractive, flesh conditions were mostly moderate. Cash fed cattle in the country last week topped at 204.00. Lower CME Live and Feeder Cattle futures last week, and the cold weather, had no effect on the market at the auction as the bidding was fast and the competition was great as cattle feeders are eager to fill empty pens.
