Compared to last week:  Too few feeder steers and heifers offered to allow good 
market comparisons to be made.  Very good demand for all weights of steers and 
heifers as the cash fed cattle has reached new, historic high price levels.  
The corn crop has benefitted from the frequent rains throughout the month of 
July helping to keep feed cost low, which is also helping to support the feeder 
market at these prices levels.
