Compared to last week:  Steer calves under 550 lbs 30.00 to 40.00 higher, over 
550 lbs steady except 650-700 lbs 15.00 higher.  Heifer calves 20.00 to 45.00 
higher.  Very good demand for all weights of steer and heifer calves, this was 
the last marketing week of the calendar year as auction markets won't host 
another feeder cattle auction until after the New Year.  There is new found 
optimism, again, in the feeder cattle market as cattle producers keep their 
eyes locked on the strong market fundamentals.  Yearling operators were ready 
to battle it out to get the light cattle bought that they need to make 
yearlings, supplies of those kinds are getting harder to find.  Cattle feeders 
were willing to give more as well as the cash fed cattle market, and the 
futures contracts have been supportive to the feeder cattle market.
