Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers. The market was very active this week as cattle feeders felt better about the prospects of the fat market as the boxed beef market has risen to new highs for this time of year. Yearling operators and replacement heifer buyers were very active as spring has arrived and turnout time will be coming soon.
