FEEDER CATTLE            9402           6100    11843     
  
  
Compared to last week:   Yearling feeder steers and heifers 10.00 to 20.00 
higher, instances to 30.00 higher on 900-950 lbs steers.  Very good demand for 
yearling steers and heifers, especially by late week as the futures contracts 
rallied and reports of cash fed cattle at 225.00.  Cattle feeders are ready to 
take on these good, light fleshed yearlings right off grass, and know they will 
have to compete heavily as the yearling supply is tight this year.  However, 
with outgoing fed cattle losing money and the futures not supporting the cash 
markets as breakeven prices are much higher than the level the futures are at.  
Few strings of spring born calves coming to town already, as the drought has 
been severe and grass is very short.  Moderate demand for those calves as most 
cattle feeders aren't ready to take on a bawling calf yet.

Livestock futures have remained generally quiet early Friday morning, with increased focus on the afternoon release of the cattle on feed report. Although limited additional cash market activity is expected to be seen until late afternoon, the early movement of steady price levels from last week's levels may set the overall trend of the market for the week.
