Tues., September 11, 2018 - Packer Day


Almost 400 slaughter cattle today including 286 steers & heifers.  The fed market was mostly steady compared to last week on a top of 111.00/cwt.!  The market has remained in a sideways pattern for the last several weeks and may remain this way for a few more!

Cull cows were 1.00 to 2.00 lower although there were very few high yielding cows in the offering.  Bulls sold steady to weak.
