Tuesday, March 19, 2013- Packer Day
A smaller number of slaughter steers & heifers, but
a large slaughter cow run was the story of the day at Fairview Sale Barn.
The fed cattle market was considerably lower on a top of 127.50. Triple
digit losses at the merc continue to make buyers defensive.
Slaughter cows and bulls sold weak to 2.00 lower!
