Compared to last week: Feeder steers 5.00 to 10.00 higher, heifers 8.00 to 15.00 higher. Very good demand again this week, as the cash fed cattle market spiking to 215.00 the prior week infused new enthusiasm to own cattle. Cattle feeders are operating at a very profitable level currently, but are struggling to buy cattle that fit with where the back months of the CME Live Cattle futures are at. The open winter has allowed cattle to gain easily, helping cattle feeders' bottom lines.
