Tues., September 18, 2018 - Packer Day


A late week rally at the Merc helped make a higher fed cattle market as slaughter steers & heifers sold 3.00 higher.  Today's top was 114.75 cwt.

Cull cows sold mostly steady with bulls steady to weak!

Just announced a special cow sale on Oct. 2 will feature two dispersions of fall bred cows, many with calves at side!
