Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2013- Packer Day

With harvest in full swing, slaughter receipts were lighter in numbers compared to the last several weeks.  Slaughter steers & heifers topped at 128.25.  Buyers continue to be most concerned with finish because of the Choice/Select spread.

Slaughter cows sold weak to 2.00 lower and bulls steady.
