Only 1 reported feeder cattle auction on this holiday shortened week, too few to offer a comparison to last week's combined sales. Demand remains very good as feeder cattle auction schedules have become sporadic, as is normal for this time of year. Plentiful rains have pastures green and growing and row crops looking very good. Cash fed cattle market still outperforms the futures contracts, which is causing cattle feeders to pay little attention to it and keep focused on the positive market fundamentals.
