Compared to last week:  Feeder steers and heifers sold with lower undertones.  
Good demand for light cattle to background, very good demand for replacement 
quality heifers, moderate to good for heavier cattle bound for finishing yards. 
 As the cash fat cattle market slipped from it's highs of 250.00 a week ago, 
and reports of 244.00-246.00 came in at early week, cattle feeders approached 
the feeder market a little slower this week.  CME cattle futures lower at 
midweek kept them concerned as breakeven costs are higher than the futures 
contracts.  Good moisture across the state for the year, as North Dakota is 1 
of only 2 states that aren't experiencing some level of drought.  This is fact, 
along with the lofty feeder cattle market, is keeping interest in breeding 
heifers very high.
