Tues., February 27, 2018 - Packer Day
Slaughter steers & heifers sold 1.50 lower with a 134.00 top. Overall the kind & quality of finish & grade wasn't as attractive as last week's offering!
Similarly the cows lacked the last two weeks overall quality with not near as many high yielding cows in the mix. Slaughter bulls were mostly steady with a top of 92.00
