HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! 191 slaughter cattle sold today with fed cattle selling $6-$8 higher than a week ago.  Improvement at the board along with a big run-up in the west because of short show lists put some fire into the market.  Top today was $122.

Cull cows continue their big runs everywhere continuing to put pressure on prices!  The trade was again 2.00 to 3.00 lower on cows and steady on a light run on bulls.
