Feeder cattle offerings too limited to make full, complete price comparisons, lower undertones prevailed. Moderate to good demand for yearlings this week as the CME Live and Feeder Cattle contracts took on a bearish tone. Cash fed cattle retreating as well, down to 230.00, is causing great concern amongst cattle feeders as most cattle need 250.00 to break even. Hot weather this week caused some auction markets to cancel their feeder cattle sales as the high heat index is too hard on the cattle.
