This past week saw strength in the live cattle & feeder board. In addition, Fed Cattle trade was $3 better for the week, representing the first up in the Fed Cattle market since the boarder re-opening announcement in June. Hopefully we will have carry through support as it sure feels like near term supplies should be pretty short. The 25th Anniversary of 9/11 happened on Friday. We reflect on the lives lost & what an awful moment in our nation’s history. We pray for world peace & praise the strength & courage of the men & women who wear the uniform defending our freedom in our great country! God Bless you!
