Tuesday, May 19, 2015 Packer Sale

Slaughter steer and heifers sold mostly 2.00 lower with the bulk of last week's sale.  Although there were a few avg. choice or higher cattle in this week's offering, the overall quality and finish wasn't as prevalent as last week!

The cull cow and bull trade was very active again as they sold 2.00 higher.  Most advance was on the lean cows.
