Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers traded sharply higher with nearly every weight and class of cattle 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows 5.00 to 6.00 higher. A large crowd was on hand for the Annual Customer Appreciation BBQ Sale, featuring nearly 20 loads of yearlings and plenty of large strings to build around. Lots of buying power, and optimism, set the bar high right from the start. Sharp losses for feeder cattle plus a big jump for corn contracts had no impact on Tuesday's local cash trade. Supply heavy, demand very good.
