Compared to last week:  Feeder steers 10.00 to 15.00 higher, instances to 20.00 
higher, heifers 6.00 to 10.00 higher.  Very good demand for all weights of 
steers and heifers, best demand remains on light fleshed cattle to background, 
either in a yard or on grass.  Very good demand for replacement quality 
heifers.  The outlook for the grazing season has improved as the rains came to 
where they were desperately needed and the grass is growing nicely.  The cash 
fed cattle market continues to march higher, up to 242.00.  Cattle producers 
are very bullish about the market going forward as the cash continues to 
outperform all expectations.  The futures contracts aren't keeping pace with 
the rapidly rising cash market.  Feeder cattle offerings are more limited as we 
move into the summer, except for the summer BBQ sales that have begun and will 
continue next week.  Cattle feeders know they have to strike while the cattle 
are offered because they might not get another chance for a week or two.
