No price comparisons to be made as auctions last week were too limited to warrant market reporting, much larger receipts this week as spring born calves start to show up at the auctions as the fall marketing season begins. Good demand for both steer and heifer calves, yet the issue of much higher feed cost this year is weighing on the minds of cattle feeders. The cash fed cattle market continues to outperform the front month of the Live Cattle futures but the more important back months of the board aren't breaking through to make new contract highs which is tempering cattle feeders' expectations.
