Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - Packer Sale

Compared to a week ago, slaughter steers sold mostly 4.00 lower with a top of 150.00 cwt.  Several cattle showing up either carrying extra mud of a little lite on finish made the market seem more uneven than normal.

Slaughter cows sold 2-3 lower, however, not the overall quality was in this week's offering!  Several cows came to town showing the effect of a long & cold winter.

Thursday, March 13, will be a special feeder sale - no restrictions.
