FEEDER CATTLE            2609           4000    2703      
  
  
Compared to last week:  Feeder steers  mostly 10.00 higher, except 850-1000 lbs 
steady.  Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 higher, except 700-750 lbs and 800-850 
lbs 10.00 higher.  Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers as 
the cash fed cattle market spiked to 245.00 in the north last week.  Another 
day of higher Live Cattle futures helped to add to the optimistic attitudes of 
cattle feeders.  Large strings of yearlings, including one consignment of 
nearly 500 head, offered in full loads and multiple load lots which allowed 
buyers to make uniform pens of cattle from a single source.  Flesh condition 
mostly moderate to moderate plus, yet there were light fleshed cattle offered 
as well.  The market was very active after many auction markets not hosting a 
feeder cattle auction last week and cattle feeders are looking to fill their 
empty pens as quickly as they can.
