Interesting rally on the grain table Friday. Almost strange to see a sparkle in that market.

Higher grain always seems like a win-win for the midwestern cattle feeder. They are in such a better position raising their own feed stuffs. With a cattle market like this it makes returns on cost of gains fantastic!
