Tues., March 13, 2018 - Packer Day/Bred Cow Sale
The quality of the fed cattle offering was less appealing than past weeks with very limited numbers that would reach the upper range of grade or yield! That said, the trend was weak to 2.00 lower on a 135.00 top.
A big run of slaughter cows again with a big majority of the cows in the average to below average yield columns. The trend was still 3 to 4 lower tan last week. Bulls sold steady!
