No recently tested market for a true price comparison, but looking back to the New Years Day Special, steers and heifers traded sharply higher. Overall quality was outstanding throughout the day with the majority of the cattle in attractive condition and long time weaned. The market continued to climb throughout the day, resulting in some wide price spreads in spots and causing some wear and tear on the auctioneer as buyers at times locked in on some reputation consignments. Cattle futures got a bounce after a big break Monday and Tuesday but cutout values were sharply lower Wednesday. Supply heavy, demand good to very good.
