Tuesday, March 22, 2016 - Packer Day
Compared to last week slaughter steers & heifers sold mostly steady on a top of 142.50. Friday's somewhat bearish cattle on feed report has slowed the momentum the cattle market had gained the last several weeks!
Cull cows were fully steady and bulls 2.00 higher.
Feeder special this Thursday, expecting 1500 head.
