Tuesday, October 20, 2015 - Packer Sale

The fed cattle market after appearing to bottom 2 weeks ago, has continued to climb back towards respectability!  Today's top was 137.50 compared to 130.25 last week.

 

Cull cows and bulls sold steady.  However, there weren't as many cows in the higher yielding category as last week!
