Tues., January 29, 2019 - Packer Day
Short receipts today because of the extreme cold that has settled over the Midwest making moving cattle both difficult and dangerous! The producers who did brave the cold were rewarded with an active market as packers are working close to the knife this week. Top today was 133.00 with several high choice steers & heifers selling in that 131.25 to 133.00 range.
Cow and bull trade was also active on limited receipts.
