The cattle market is rewriting the record books, but where do we go from here?

Bailey Ballou with Superior Livestock Auction joins Progressive Cattle to discuss current market trends, buyer behavior, value-added premiums and what producers should be thinking about as Superior's Summer Run approaches. Plus, hear why relationships, reputation and marketing still matter in today's high-priced environment.
