FEEDER CATTLE 22453 27685 26224
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 877 867 1499
Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 8.00 higher, heifers steady to
3.00 higher. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers. Cash
cattle were higher again, up to 241.00 by late week, which helped to build more
support for the feeder cattle market this week. The arctic weather moved out
and warmed up greatly, which allowed for feeder cattle producers to get their
stock shipped to town and were met by eager buyers.
