Compared to last week: Too few feeders steers and heifers offered to allow a good market comparison. Much lighter auction receipts, as is usual for this time of year as most auction markets are hosting feeder cattle sales on an every other week basis. Cash fed cattle market, up to 191.00 in the country at late week, is helping to support the feeder cattle market regardless of the futures contracts. April Live Cattle futures at 184.00, 6.00-7.00 lower than the cash trade is causing cattle producers to pay little attention to the board and instead focus on the market fundamentals.
