Tuesday, September 22, 2015 Packer Sale
The carnage pertaining to the cattle market continue as slaughter steers & heifers sold 6-7 lower than last week. Margins have definitely shifted from the feeder to the packer and retailer! Is the bottom in yet, mostly likely not!
Cull cows & bulls also are in a new price range. They also have been under pressure as the fall run is upon us!
