Tuesday, May 28, 2013- Packer Day

Rain, rain & more rain! At least for us cattlemen, the grass is growing even though the beans are still in the bag.

Slaughter steers & heifers sold mostly steady with last week on a 130.75 top.  Cow run was shorter in numbers than its been all spring (something we've been expecting for several weeks), but the trade was mostly steady on a 93.00 top!
