Tuesday, May 24, 2016 - Packer Day
Slaughter steers & heifers sold 2.00 lower on the top end choice cattle and mostly 3.00 lower on the lesser grading cattle. Plummeting futures since last Friday's COF report have caused many to believe the rally in the live market the last couple weeks is probably over.
Cull cows were mostly steady. High yielding bulls not tested, with avg. yielding bulls steady to 2.00 lower.
