Compared to the last sale four weeks ago, steers and heifers traded sharply higher. This was the first of a two day Customer Appreciation Sale at Green City Livestock, featuring yearlings on Monday and calves and more yearlings Wednesday. Monday's yearling run was offered nearly exclusively in load or part load lots, making quick work of the 2700 head that moved through the ring. Nearly all the cattle were from long time reputation consignors, wrung out, ready to go with all the work done. The loads were split nearly evenly steers to heifers, with heifers in many cases closing what is normally a pretty wide price spread to a fairly narrow range compared to the steers. While a good number of buyers were present, the vast majority of the offering was absorbed by a handful of participants. As expected, prices continued to climb and hit some nearly unbelievable figures if you weren't there to see it. Supply heavy, demand very good.
