Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 5.00 to 15.00 lower. Demand good for steers and heifers still, yet there was is a lot of uncertainty in the marketplace currently and that led to a lower feeder cattle market. As cash fed cattle have slipped down to 235.00-237.00 level, and the futures contracts not offering much support, cattle feeders were determined to buy cattle cheaper. Lighter auction receipts this week as another shot of winter weather moved through the area.
