Compared to last week, feeder steers and steer calves were 5.00-10.00 higher with spots on the calves 20.00 higher. Feeder heifers and heifer calves were steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The quality of the offering was above average with buyers aggressively looking for preconditioned calves. The CME Feeder and Live Cattle Futures made a small downward correction on Tuesday, following big gains on Monday, due to the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimate (WASDE) report released Friday. The report raised estimates on corn production and lowered estimates on cattle production, which translated to lower feed cost for an already short beef supply. However, most of the talk in the sale barn centered around the lack of water and loss of fall pastures. Much of the area was in the 90's today with forecasted lows this weekend in the 30's.
