Only 1 reported auction this week as other locations did not host a feeder cattle auction due to the holiday shortened week. Very good demand for all weights of feeder cattle. The cash fed cattle topped at 140.00 live basis this week, lending great support to the feeder cattle market. The CME Live Cattle futures contracts are rising as well giving a much brighter outlook for the coming months of the fed cattle market.
