No recent price comparison as the last test of feeder cattle were three weeks ago. The undertone to last week's limited run of feeders is lower. The CME Feeder Cattle contracts have lost around 20.00 in the last two weeks. Demand was moderate as order buyers are willing to take on cattle but at much lower prices. Best demand for thinner fleshed calves suitable for winter grazing.
