Compared to last week: Too few feeder cattle offered a week ago to allow a good comparison with this week's much larger offering. Very good demand for those light fleshed cattle to run on grass as yearlings as the supply of these types is getting very tight. Yearling operators are eager to secure their cattle as they know there won't be many more opportunities to buy these kinds as turnout time is quickly approaching. The feeder cattle futures contracts are moving in the wrong direction but cattle producers didn't let that deter them from chasing the market to get cattle bought. Cash fed cattle only at 185.00, below breakeven price for many, and now the summer months have dipped below 170.00.
