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.
