Tuesday, March 8, 2016 - Packer Day
Slaughter steers & heifers sold steady to firm on a top of 137.25. With the dryer than normal weather we've been experiencing, cattle have cleaned up so mud has not been much of a problem lately.
Cull cows were steady to weak and bulls mostly steady.
Expecting 1300 to 1500 head for Thursday's feeder special.
