Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold sharply higher. With only two auction markets holding feeder cattle sales, the market was very active at both locations. Record highs on negotiated feedlot sales, tight feeder cattle numbers, CME cattle boards blasting to new highs and the CME corn futures banging around the low to mid 5.00 range helped this market take off. How long will it hold? Everyone in the livestock and commodity business is probably looking into their crystal ball trying to see the future to pinpoint their next move.
