Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 3.00 higher, feeder heifers under 600 lbs 3.00 to 6.00 higher, over 600 lbs 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Good to very good demand this week. As Feb Live Cattle futures began the week at 116.00 cattle feeders were feeling a little more optimism and were willing to chase the feeder market higher. Cash fed cattle rose up to 113.00 but still failed to meet the futures and maintained a negative basis. Large auction receipts as the open weather is allowing cattle producers to easily get their cattle shipped to town.
