Compared to last week: Feeder steers 4.00-8.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Demand moderate to good for feeder cattle. Futures spiked at the end of the day, closing all in the green. Steer calves 5.00-10.00 lower. Heifer calves 10.00-20.00 lower. Demand moderate at best for calves. Cold temps today Monday and the lack of rain in the next 10 days has limited that demand for calves. Quality mostly average, end attractive. Calf quality not as attractive as last week. Earlier rains provided enough moisture and wheat currently is looking pretty good, however the spicket has turned dry and more rain is needed. Supply included: 100% Feeder Cattle (56% Steers, 40% Heifers, 4% Bulls). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 53%.
