Tues., November 20, 2018 - Packer Day
289 cattle today on a preholiday sale. The fed market was active and prices were generally 2.00 higher on a top of 115.00 cwt. Compared to last week, the overall quality of the offering was more attractive to the buyers!
Cull cows sold fully steady even though there were a limited number of high yielding cows to test the market.
ATTN: ANY OF YOU PRODUCERS WHO HAVE HEAVY CATTLE IN LOT (ABOT 1500#) HAD BETTER GET THEM TO TOWN. VERY POSSIBLE MORE SEVERE WEGIHT DISCOUNTS ARE COMING!
