Compared to last week: Feeder steers 2.00 to 5.00 higher, instances of 8.00 to 10.00 higher on 550-650 lbs. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 higher. Very good demand for steers and heifers as the Live and Feeder Cattle futures continue to rally back towards their levels before they crashed after Thanksgiving. Yearling operators are the most aggressive bidders as cattle in light enough weight and flesh to summer on grass are getting harder to find. Cattle feeders have been dealing with mud the last few weeks as the temps have been warm but a lack of sunshine has kept ground conditions wet and rather miserable.
