Tuesday, February 23, 2016 - Packer Day
An active slaughter trade especially on a solid choice steers & heifers was evident as the market was mostly 1.50 to 2.00 higher compared to last week.
Cull cows sold steady on the cutter and boner grades, but breaker cows were 3-4 higher. Bulls were steady to firm!
