Tuesday, April 27, 2021 - Packer Day

17 slaughter cattle includin 85 fed steers & heifers that sold with moderate demand on a lower market.  As packers pull in more of their contracts and the merc losing ground the last couple of weeks has caused the live market to back up several dollars from the high three weeks ago!  however, slaughter cows and bull prices have remained very strong.
