Weekly Summary, South Dakota

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 2.00 to 7.00 lower. Good demand for all weights of steers and heifers this week, however with the cattle futures contracts under pressure, that pressure carried into the feeder cattle market at the auctions. Cash fed cattle up to 241.00, but there is much uncertainty about where the spring high will be. Cattle feeders are back to feeling defensive about the market and are needing to buy cattle cheaper.
