Tuesday, April 28, 2015 Packer Sale
Slaughter steer & heifers sold $2-$3 lower than last week, however, there were very few high choice cattle with yield to test the upper end of the market. With that said, the undertone of the market was definitely lower!
Cull cows also sold uneven with fleshy cows weak to 2.00 lower and lean cows 2-3 higher. Several of these lean cows went back to the farm to be fed.
