WOW! What a breath of fresh air! That feeder market was HOT, HOT HOT! You ask-"how come"? I don''t know and for now I don''t care! I just want to look at this sale as a good one! The only sombre thing about it was the kill cows. I''m calling them down 2-3 cents. I''m told that there are just so-o-o many kill cows coming to the market, the packers are getting backed up. Maybe consider holding back a few weeks to let the glut get through- no guarantees tho''! Bulls were almost steady. But the feeder market was really aggressive compared to what we''ve been seeing. It was almost nice even though they''re still not paying their way. The stands were full of buyers from near and far all wanting in the market- what a change!
Sunday is MOTHERS DAY- please remember "you wouldn''t be here if it weren''t for your Mother!!!!
