Tues., August 27, 2019 - Packer Day
1339 slaughter cattle today including 204 fed steers & heifers. With no recent comparison on prices (because of limited receipts with the Tyson fire episode) the top was 112.75.
Even though we've had limited movement in the far cattle trade, overall we remain very current as we continue to see several consignments that are short on finish!
The cow & bull trade was active with cows 1.00-3.00 higher and bulls steady.
