Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold with steady to lower undertones, compared to last week's much larger offering. Good demand for the packages of spring born calves, the market is very active on these light weight cattle. Good demand for the long strings of yearlings, many full loads and multiple load lots. Flesh condition ran towards the heavier side, the market was active but cattle feeders watch the flesh condition closely and bid accordingly. Big gains in the cattle futures complex, reports of 240.00 cash cattle at the end of last week as well helped to support the feeder cattle market.
