Compared to last week:  Feeder steers unevenly steady, heifers 7.00 to 15.00 
higher.  Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers, best demand on 
heifers were those of replacement quality.  The market was incredibly active on 
those light weight, yearling making steers and heifers and for those 
replacement worthy heifers.  Cattle to grow into yearlings are more limited in 
numbers, compared to the bigger cattle bound for feedyards, which is keeping 
the light cattle market red hot.  Plenty of buyers on the seats wanting to buy 
a heifer to breed as there is rampant optimism amongst cattle producers.

NONCOMMERCIAL OUTLOOK: Noncommercial corn traders held a net-short futures position of 51,704 contracts as of Jan. 20 and were net-sellers of 18,281 contracts during the CFTC reporting period following a bearish surprise in the Crop Production and WASDE reports released by USDA on Jan. 12.

COMMERCIAL OUTLOOK: Commercial corn traders held a net-long position of 68,044 contracts as of Jan. 20 and were net-buyers of 19,121 contracts through the CFTC reporting period.
