Tues., August 14, 2018 - Packer Day


300+ slaughter cattle today with steers & heifers selling mostly 1.50 to 2.00 lower, cull cows firm to 2.00 higher and bulls steady!  Steers/heifers topped at 112.50 with cattle carrying more weight (above 1250#) much more desirable to the packer buyers.  Cattle short on finish & weight sold at the low end of price ranges.
