Special Thanksgiving Yearling sale with at least twelve full loads along with several part load lots offered. Only very limited comparisons with the previous couple of weeks with the yearling steers and heifers trading steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 lower. Several early winter storms moving across cattle country over the next seven days, leaving some buyers to wonder if prices could have been even higher if the weatherman could have forecasted nothing but sunshine for the next ten days. December live cattle futures closed up seventy cents Tuesday finishing at 120.40. It was early last spring since the December contract has been this high, signaling to the finishers that the price rally could continue right through the end of the year. Demand good and supply moderate.
