Tuesday, April 5, 2016 - Packer Day
Even though everyone was expecting a lower market, the trade was still very good considering the Western feedlots had to sell cattle last Friday from 131.00 to 133.00/cwt.! Our top was 139.75 compared to 143.00 last week. The general feeling is that the spring high is in, but lets hope we can hold on to this current market a little longer.
Cows & bulls sold steady to 1.00 higher!
