Compared to last week: Only 1 reported auction this week, higher undertones prevailed. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers. As the CME Live and Feeder Cattle contracts continued to march higher, so did the optimism of feeder cattle producers and cattle feeders resulting in a very active feeder market. Cash fed cattle reached all new, historic highs this week, which helped to propel the feeder cattle market higher.
