From USDA's Northwest Direct weekly feeder cattle summary, here's Greg Sanders.
Sanders: "We had 850 head trade this week. Feeder cattle were stage two higher at a very light test this Holiday shortened week. Trade slow, demand good as slaughter cattle prices show price gains at the end of the week. Feeder steers med-large frame number 1 and 2 current delivery price at 100lbs $2.10-$2.11 delivered to Idaho"
