Tuesday, June 21, 2016 - Packer Day
As the Merc continues to lose value, unfortunately so does the live cattle market! Steer top today was 124.75 which was 5.50 lower than last week, however the bulk were 6.00-7.00 lower.
Cull cows were active and sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Most of the advance was on the moderate to fleshier cows. Bulls were 2.00 higher on a 115.00 top.
