Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers steady. Good to very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers. The market was active as last week's cash fat cattle set another new record high price at 265.00. Long strings of yearlings offered again this week, quality ranged from a little plain to very attractive, flesh ranged from light and right to carrying a little too much. CME Feeder Cattle futures lower today, and the back months of the Live Cattle have cattle feeders concerned.
