COMMENTS

Slaughter classes steady to 3 higher . Replacement pairs and bred cows 150-200 dollars per head higher . Calves and feeder cattle 3 to 5 higher. Market was very strong and active on widespread demand .I was afraid we would see a weaker market due to the holiday, but I am glad to be proven wrong. Fed cattle in the west higher @ 119-120 with some auction sales in the Mid West reporting sales of 122-124. The power of Auctions!!
