Worthing, South Dakota

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher, except 650-750 lbs 7.00 to 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers 10.00 to 20.00 higher, except 950-1000 lbs 8.00 to 15.00 lower. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers. The market was very active as there was more optimism infused in the market after last week's cash fed cattle trade topped at 241.00. CME Live Cattle futures gained over 2.00 today, Feeder Cattle nearly 6.00, which also helped to propel the feeder cattle market higher. Many long strings of very attractive, home raised steers and heifers, along with full loads of big calves and several strings of yearlings offered in full and multiple load lots. Flesh on the yearlings ran towards the heavy side. Farmer feeder buyers remain very active bidders as they are wanting to add some value to their corn crop.
