Compared to last week: Feeder steers 3.00 to 8.00 higher, instances of 10.00 to 13.00 higher. Feeder heifers 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers. More optimism was infused into the market as packers were forced to give more money for fat cattle this week. Cow/calf producers are quick to get their cattle consigned to a sale as the market returns to it's historic highs. Mild weather this week made for easier work to get cattle shipped to town. Very good demand remains for replacement quality heifers.
