As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers steady to 5.00 higher. Very good demand for this very large offering of high quality, long time weaned steers and heifers. Many long strings, including full load lots and multiple load lots, along with plenty of smaller strings and packages that allowed buyers to make full loads of. The market was very active as the CME Feeder Cattle futures gained over 4.50 today. Cash fed cattle were lower at 198.00-201.00, but it was difficult to tell at the auction, as cattle feeders stepped right back into the market and competed heavily to get their needs secured. Flesh conditions moderate overall. The temps this week are more than 60 degrees warmer than it was last Monday, as daytime highs reached nearly 60 degrees, and forecast to stay mild like the rest of the week. Corn futures were lower, helping to support feeder cattle prices.
