Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 3.00 lower, instances to 6.00 lower on 550-600 lbs, heifers steady to 4.00 lower. Moderate to good demand for this light offering of feeder cattle this week. CME Live and Feeder Cattle futures had a tough week as Live Cattle lost 3.00 and Feeder Cattle nearly 6.00 lower. Drought is a major concern now as the entire state has been declared a drought disaster already, even before the growing season has begun, as this September to March was the driest on record.
