Tuesday, September 6, 2016 - Packer Day

Slaughter steers & heifers sold steady with last week's market.  25% of the run returned to the farm for more finish as they were too green to grade.  40% sold in a narrow range from 4106 to the $108 top.

Cows were steady to weak.  The small run after the holiday weekend likely had some negative influence on the market.

Bulls were lower by a dollar or two.
