Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers not well compared with last week's much larger offering, too few offered to allow a good comparison. Moderate to good demand for the cattle that were offered in the auctions this week, auction markets remain on their summer sale schedules. Cash fed cattle traded lower, but at 193.00, still holding a very wide, positive basis over the futures contracts. The Live Cattle futures for the winter months are barely at 180.00, causing cattle feeder to refigure their breakeven prices much lower.
