Tuesday, August 11, 2020 - Packer Day
As the high winds swept across several states yesterday causing a lot of power outages and the interruption of a couple of beef harvesting plants! One plant may be dark all week with the other one operating but at a slower speed. Today's top was 105.00.
Cull cows have seen prices drop significantly since the highs earlier this summer with most selling in the 60's compared to 70's a short time ago. Bull prices have also been pressured as the top selling bull today brought 100.00 cwt.
