Tuesday, August 6, 2013- Packer Day

A nice summer run of 268 fed cattle came to market in Fairview today.  Steers made up most of the run and were a step ahead in quality compared to the heifers.  The market was a tick ahead of a week ago with a top of 125.25 with about all of the choice better yielding kind falling between 121.00 and the top.  Slaughter cows with 57 of the 78 head offering falling between $80 and the top of $94.  Bulls were 100.00 to 105.25 except for some thinner ones in the $90's.  Heiferettes & older coarser mates are way back.
