Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers 10.00 to 20.00 higher, instances to 25.00 higher. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers this week. The weather straightened out finally allowing producers to get their cattle shipped to town and make room in their corrals for new spring calves that are being born. The cash fed cattle market reached 186.00 and the feeder cattle market responded like a rocket. Cattle feeders are anxious to get cattle bought as the fat market has reached a price level that many thought was not possible. Grass turn out time is quickly approaching and the demand for grass suitable steers and heifers is red hot.
