No recent price comparisons available for feeder steers and heifers this week, this report was last generated before the Christmas break. Good demand for this large offering of feeder steers and heifers. The mild weather is making it very easy on the producers of these cattle and allowing them to easily get them shipped to town. Cattle feeders had to be a little more defensive this week as the CME Live and Feeder Cattle contracts whipsawed from 3.00-4.00 lower on Monday and then putting nearly all of that back on by Tuesday. Packers were able to push the cash fed cattle market lower, to 110.00, this week which added more concern to cattle feeders. Corn prices pushed towards 5.00 this week adding more pressure to the feeder market.
