No reported auctions a week ago to offer a comparison, much higher undertones 
compared to the single auction location reported two weeks ago.  Very good 
demand for all weights of feeder steers and heifers as the CME Live and Feeder 
Cattle futures climbs higher as they try to keep pace with the rapidly rising 
cash fed cattle market.  With the summer grazing season fast approaching, the 
best demand and most market activity is seen on those steers and heifers in 
light enough weight and flesh to grow as a yearling  on grass.  Yearling 
operators are willing to chase the market and compete very heavily to get the 
light cattle bought that they need.  There has been some rain across the state, 
which helped to support the market for these light cattle as well as the winter 
and spring have been incredibly dry.
