No recent price comparison available as feeder cattle offerings have been limited. A larger run this week of feeder cattle were met with very good as the cattle futures contracts finally found support and moved substantially higher. The feeder cattle marketing season in North Dakota is winding down, resulting in sporadic sale schedules. Turnout time is nearing, yearling operators are willing to compete heavily to get their cattle needs secured which is creating a very active market at the auctions. Cattle feeders are breathing easier after the cash fed cattle market was able to make a gain and the futures contracts reversed their downward trajectory.
