Tues., February 25, 2020 - Packer Day
224 slaughter cattle today including 105 fed steers & heifers. Market top was 121.50 which was basically steady with last week even though the futures market has sold off over the coronavirus scares! Several consignments carrying extra dirt with the temperature varying from freezing to thawing.
Cull cows sold with good demand on a 3.00-4.00 higher market and bulls were also higher on a limited test.
