Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 10.00 to 20.00 higher, except 950-1050 lbs steers 3.00 to 8.00 higher. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers, the cattle futures complex continued it's rally, which helped to propel the cash market higher. With hopes of 250.00 cash fat cattle, which materialized by Friday, cattle feeders were willing to chase the market and compete heavily to get cattle bought. The market was incredibly active throughout the week. Grass is turning green and starting to grow, as turnout time is not far away. Much optimism abounds across all sectors of cattle production.
