What options were available to the cash market that would have raised the price of the cash market? 

You continually argue that the major buyers spend less on the cash market because they have their needs filled.  Then we find out that many times they more in their pipeline than they needed but continue to put in formula cattle.  What is it SH?

When the prices were pegged to the cash market and buying strategies were used that lowered the cash market even at the expense of paying the forumula cattle more than the cash market, it is market manipulation!

No one has to use your definition of price fixing, SH.  It is just your own definition.  The jurors did not buy it.   None of the 12 bought it.  In the U.S., unless there is a real reason not to trust what a jury comes up with, there should not be an overturning of the verdict.  The judge, in this case Judge Strom, must have real stated reasons that are not judgements, but real reasons that can be looked at. 

Judge Strom did not do this and the appellate court really boofed up.
