Compared to the last sale held four weeks ago, steers and heifers of all weights traded with a sharply higher undertone. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher. A number of serious contenders in the seats made for active trade from the get go. A higher market was established quickly and continued to climb throughout the day, with pretty well every weight and class tacking on from 7.00 to 9.00 dollars, and several spots trading double digits higher than the last sale in early May. Yearling load lots garnered a lot of attention but the 500-600 lb cattle were also a hot ticket. Good quality and weigh up on most of the cattle throughout the day. Cattle futures made a quick recovery Wednesday after an early week JBS scare, and the corn market giving back some of Tuesday's gains didn't hurt anyone's feelings either. Supply moderate, demand good to very good.
