Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 4.00 higher, except 700-750 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs 4.00 to 5.00 lower, over 550 lbs 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Moderate to good demand for feeder cattle this week, much lighter offerings. Best demand remains for light fleshed cattle to go to grass with, demand more moderate for heavier weight cattle as the supply of that class is much greater. An uneven trade in the cattle futures complex, yet cattle feeders still hoping for a good spring rally in the cash fed cattle market.
