Tuesday, October 6, 2015 - Packer Sale
Slaughter steers & heifers sold mostly steady to instances 1.00 lower. A few cattle carrying extra finish (YG4) were less popular with the buyers. Heavy & over finished cattle have caused a backlog in the supply chain.
Cull cows and bulls were weak to 2.00 lower compared to last week!
