FEEDER CATTLE            3430           1441    3291      
  
  
Compared to two weeks ago:  Feeder steers 900-1000 lbs 10.00 lower, other 
weights of steers not well compared.  Feeder heifers sold with higher 
undertones compared to the limited heifer offering last sale.  Good demand for 
yearling steers and heifers, several long strings offered in multiple load lots 
including 1 cut of 10 full loads.  Numerous stock trailer loads of yearlings 
allowed buyers to put together and make  loads.  The market was not as active 
as the cash fed cattle market has slipped down around 220.00, some below, 
leaving cattle feeders facing losses on outgoing fed cattle.  The current price 
structure of the deferred months of the Live Cattle contracts are putting much 
pressure on the feeder cattle market.  Flesh condition ranged from very light 
to moderate, as the drought continues to be very severe, forcing cattle to town 
sooner and some producers having to put out supplemental feed.
