As filed

No recently tested market for a price comparison. Yearling trade was the big story to come out of Tuesday's sale as several loads of reputation steers caught up to a price level we haven't seen in quite some time. Feeder cattle contracts bounced back in a big way from Monday's sharp losses, which didn't hurt the local cash market. Supply moderate, demand good.
