Compared to last week:  More limited feeder cattle offerings as many auction 
markets move to their bi-weekly summer schedules, feeder steers and heifers 
sold unevenly steady.  Very good demand for light fall calves to background and 
for yearlings to go right into finishing yards.  The cash fed cattle started to 
trade higher, up to 244.00 but then at late week sales of 238.00-240.00 
surfaced and the futures contracts posted large losses on Friday.  There is 
much optimism amongst cattle producers regardless of where the futures 
contracts are at as the market reached highs that most did not think could be 
achieved.  The cash market has outperformed the futures and continues to do so, 
causing producers to pay little attention to it.  Cattle are turned out to 
grass and auction receipts are light, except when a special BBQ sale is held 
offering long strings of backgrounded steers and heifers.  The market is very 
active as cattle feeders know they need to act quick or they will not get the 
cattle bought that they need.  Corn is growing nicely and pastures are in 
decent shape, looking positive for a fruitful growing season.
