Today was the Annual Customer Appreciation BBQ at Russell. Compared to the 
auction two weeks ago steers mostly sold 5.00 to 19.00 higher.  Steers under 
500 lbs. sold sharply higher although not well compared.  Heifers sold mostly 
3.00 to 11.00 higher. There were several load lots in the offering today.  A 
large supply of unweaned calves and yearlings were offered today.  Buyers also 
had many smaller packages of both calves and yearlings to bid on.  Demand was 
very good today.  Supply was heavy.

DTN Aghost Early Word Livestock

Cattle futures were under substantial pressure on Thursday as traders would rather liquidate positions ahead of the Cattle on Feed report than take a chance on it. Frankly, hog futures held well despite cash and cutout weakness.
