Demand for this large offering of green cattle was good. Yearlings were in very high demand again this week. Black hided cattle are in biggest demand. Several farmer buyers coming to the barn bidding on cattle as harvest is wrapping up. Most cattle were hauled in over night. CME Feeder Cattle closed down as well as corn. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls steady.
