Only 1 reported auction this week as very few feeder cattle being offered at the auctions, as is normal for this time of the year. Very good demand for cattle to run as yearlings on grass as the snows in April, and now the rains, have greatly improved the outlook for a full summer grazing season. The fall months of the Feeder Cattle futures are nearly 20.00 higher than the front month which is giving much hope to feeder cattle producers for a profitable fall marketing season.
