Tuesday, Oct.15, 2013- Packer Day

Fed cattle trade was mostly steady compared to last week.  Top was 128.00 on steers and 127.00 on heifers.  Top end of grading cattle were very popular with the buyers as they continue to be more critical of the borderline grading cattle.

Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher.
