Compared to last week:  Best comparison on feeder steers was those 500-550 lbs 
and 600-650 lbs 10.00 to 15.00 higher, other weights too narrowly compared.  
Feeder heifers mostly steady.  Very good demand for steers and heifers this 
week.  A nice selection of light fleshed cattle for grass, a very large 
offering of outstanding quality bangs vaccinated heifers, along with some 
heavier cattle suitable for finishing.  As the cattle futures complex regained 
some ground that was lost last week, there was a little more enthusiasm in the 
market this week.  Lots of demand for the replacement heifer offering as there 
were string, after string of the right kind of heifers.  Demand remains red hot 
for grass cattle as spring is getting closer and turnout time isn't that far 
away.  Cattle feeders are a little more apprehensive, than the backgrounding 
operators, as many of their cattle that will be coming to market have a 
breakeven price higher than where the futures are at currently.  Next feeder 
cattle auction will be Mar. 12, 2026.
