Compared to last week:  Only 1 reported auction this week, higher undertones 
prevailed.  Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers.  As the CME 
Live and Feeder Cattle contracts continued to march higher, so did the optimism 
of feeder cattle producers and cattle feeders resulting in a very active feeder 
market.  Cash fed cattle reached all new, historic highs this week, which 
helped to propel the feeder cattle market higher.
