Tuesday, June 9, 2015 Packer Sale

Over 300 head in Fairview today as slaughter steers & heifers sold mostly 4.00-6.00 lower.  Top was 160.00 on steers and 158.00 on heifers.  Buyers are very conscious of whether the cattle they are bidding on will grade choice or better.  Select grades are far less appealing as the spread is over 10.00 cwt. in the meat!

Cull cows & bulls also sold lower by as much as $2-3 cwt.  However, the overall quality wasn't as fancy as last week.
