256 cattle came to the auction today.
Tractors were idle so the bleachers were full of buyers and they were
aggressive. Grazing cattle sold for big bucks and stocker replacements for
feedlots also sold well. The board stays strong and drives the market.
There seems to be no let up in the near future. All of the best steers up
to 600# brought $2 and more and the better heifers up to 500# also brought
$2 and more.
