FEEDER CATTLE            4000           3185    3840      
  
  
Compared to two weeks ago:  Feeder steers 10.00 to 15.00 higher, instances to 
20.00 higher.  Feeder heifers mostly steady, except 700-750 lbs and 850-900 lbs 
10.00 higher.  Very good demand for this large offering of backgrounded 
yearlings and weaned fall calves.  The market was very active as reports of 
cash fed cattle came in at 260.00 this week.  Quality was very attractive 
throughout the offering, however flesh on the yearlings varied greatly, from 
light and just right, to very heavy fleshed.  Many full loads, including 
multiple load lots throughout the sale, allowing buyers to make full pens of 
uniform cattle.  The fall calves were very light to moderate fleshed and sold 
very easily.  Volatility returned to the CME cattle futures complex but strong 
cash market fundamentals gave support to the market at the auction.
