Tuesday, April 13, 2021 - Packer Day
328 slaughter cattle includin 162 fed steers and heifers that sold with very good demand on a top of 129.50. Tighter supplies along with a rising box beef trade has spurred the live market to its highest levels in several months.
Even though the slaughter cow market had fewer numbers bringin 70.00 or better, the weigh up/condition of todayo's cows compared to last week was not neat as attractive which made for a mostly steady market!
