Compared to last week: Feeder cattle too lightly tested a week ago to offer a comparison with this week's much larger offering. Demand remains very good for yearling steers and heifers as cash fed cattle continue to set new, all-time high record prices. Good demand for the packages of fall born, light weight calves too as there is such great optimism amongst cattle producers, theses light cattle have a lot of marketing options and are highly sought after. Devastating flooding in northern and NW Iowa last week, and now SW Iowa being affected by the flooding Missouri river after the 10-15 rains in SD and NW IA.
