Tues., September 25, 2018 - Packer Day


A smaller run of slaughter cattle today with harvest in full swing and farmers thinking about other things besides shipping cattle.  Overall the quality of fed cattle not as attractive as the past couple of weeks with very few cattle to test the upper ranges of price.  Top was 113.00!  However, the cull cow trade was completely opposite with several cows in the high yielding category!
