FEEDER CATTLE 3322 18270 17785
Only 1 reported feeder cattle auction this week as most locations did not host
a feeder cattle auction during the two weeks of Christmas and New Year's
holidays. Very good demand for feeder steers and heifers. Cash fed cattle up
to 233.00 and rising CME Live and Feeder Cattle futures have greatly improved
the outlook for the coming months in the fat cattle market. Next week all
auction locations will resume their normal weekly sale schedules, expecting
large auction receipts.
