Compared to last week: A much lighter offering of feeder cattle, steers and heifers unevenly steady. Very good demand remains for all weights of steers and heifers. Turnout time has arrived, keeping demand for grass cattle very high. Cattle feeders had to take lower money to sell fat cattle this week, 255.00-258.00. There is much uncertainty in the market currently, as the basis is 10.00 over the futures and the back months are at a level that is not profitable for cattle bought at current market prices.
