Tues., June 12, 2018 - Packer Day
Since last week we've seen the fed cattle market continue to rebound off of its late May lows. Meat traders continue to be aggressive in filling orders which has forced the packers to amp up their kill numbers! Today's top was 122.50 on steers. Several numbers are still coming to town that are short on finish!| Slaughter Steers | 140 head | |
