FEEDER CATTLE 3951 5696 5129
**CLOSE** No recent Value Added Sale for a price comparison but compared to
Monday's regular feeder sale, Thursday's offering traded sharply higher, from
15.00 to 35.00 higher with some light calves under 500 lbs benefitting from
even sharper gains. All cattle offered in this Value Added Sale are long time
weaned and backed up with a health history. Cattle futures have strung together
some very positive days this week with some big gains so far for the week which
certainly helped Thursday's market. Lots of possible seasonal disruptions are
just around the corner but for now the overall outlook is much more optimistic
than the last several weeks. Supply moderate, demand good to very good.
