As filed

Monday was the first of a two day Customer Appreciation BBQ Sale at Green City Livestock featuring load lot yearlings on Monday and home raised calves on Wednesday. Compared to the last tested market from 4 weeks ago, yearlings traded mostly 10.00 to 20.00 higher. The sale certainly lived up to its reputation as the Firecracker Sale with some exciting prices reached along the way. Several local reputation backgrounders were rewarded for their patience, when certainly it had been tempting to market long before now, when all time record highs are recorded almost weekly. Nearly all the cattle were marketed in load lots with most of the 9 weight steers bringing 2350.00-2450.00 per head; several stick out prices on the heifer end as well, including a load of 643 lb heifers going to feed at 2.99/cwt. A number of extra buyers were on hand but for the most part, the cattle on offer were scattered across a number of the regulars. Supply moderate, demand very good.
