No comparisons made this week as there was only 1 feeder cattle auction last week. Moderate to good demand for steer and heifer calves. Many calves are weaned and starting to be consigned to auctions yet the big push the sell these cattle has not occurred yet. The weather has been very mild, without snow, which is giving the incentive for cattle producers to hang on to their stock a little longer yet. CME Live Cattle and Feeder Cattle contracts did not add any support to the market this week in spite of higher cash fed cattle sales.
