Tuesday, September 26, 2017 - Packer Day

As the extremely hot weather continues to hang on, many producers opted to take a week off from moving any more cattle!  Last Friday's COF report which showed a bearish placement figure didn't seem to have much of an effect on today's slaughter prices as steers & heifers sold 1.00 higher on the strictly choice cattle and steady on the mixed grades. 

Cull cows and bulls were 1-2 lower with higher yielding bulls not tested
