As filed

No recently tested market for a true comparison but looking back four weeks, steers under 500 lbs sold steady with heavier steers and all weights of heifers trading sharply higher. A large crowd was on hand for the Annual Customer Appreciation BBQ Sale and Unionville Livestock's largest sale to date. Many large strings and about 20 load lots made their way through the ring Tuesday, readily absorbed by an aggressive crowd of buyers. Yeariing trade is always a highlight at the local barn and this week's offering didn't disappoint; quality was excellent and condition attractive. A really strong day for cattle futures and sharply lower corn lent a hand as well. Drought conditions persist throughout the area which contributed to the large run as many producers are marketing their stock earlier than they normally would in an effort to stretch resources. Supply heavy, demand very good.
