Compared to last week: Feeder steers 2.00 to 6.00 higher, except 600-650 lbs and 700-750 lbs steady. Feeder heifers under 650 lbs 3.00 to 6.00 higher, over 650 lbs steady. Good demand for this much lighter offering of feeder cattle this week. Mostly small strings offered as packages, few part loads. Flesh condition was attractive as most were in a light to moderate amount, quality was attractive overall. Cattle feeders were willing to give more, even with a limited offering, as the CME Live Cattle futures rallied this week as did the cash fat cattle market.
