Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher, heifers unevenly steady. A lighter offering of feeder cattle as we have entered the summer season where sale schedules turn to more of a biweekly schedule. Demand continues very good for yearlings, as cattle feeders that need to fill their pens know full well that if they don't get their needs met on that particular day, they might miss out. A lower fat cattle market, around 230.00-233.00, as packers have reduced their daily slaughter totals and were able to take some market leverage back. Boxed beef keeps rising higher, towards 400.00, due to these reductions. Big rains, and storms, across the state and greater region. Row crops are growing quickly as the rain has been plentiful the last two weeks.
