Tues., January 30, 2018 - Packer Day
A higher trade today influenced by greater packer spending last Friday made for a 2.00 igher market. Today's top was 130.00. Several consignments carrying excess mud making them less appealing and at the low end of the reported price range!
Over 160 cull cows sold mostly 2.00 lower except for the young feeding cows which were 5.00 - 10.00 higher! Bulls also were mostly 2.00 lower
