Compared to the last sale 3 weeks ago: Feeder steers 5.00 to 10.00 higher, except 700 lbs steers steady. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 higher, over 600 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Good to very good demand for this nice offering of mostly weaned cattle. Flesh condition ran a little heavier this week, as there were more weaned consignments, light to moderate plus. Several consignments of calves coming right off the cows, but there was no discount as their flesh condition was lighter than most of the weaned offerings. The market was active overall. This winter season has been mild, with little snow cover, without the typical very cold temps, weaned cattle have put on flesh and weight easily. Cattle feeders are starting to feel a little better now that the futures contracts seemed to bottom and have come back up some. Cash fed cattle at 175.00, leaving a positive basis over the futures helped to support the feeder market as well.
