Tuesday, May 17, 2022 - Packer Day

214 slaughter cattle including 115 fed steers and heifers that sold on a steady to 1.00 lower market.  With the country trade mostly 138.00-144.00, the demand here on Tuesday was very good.

Slaughter cows regained some of the price that they had given up the last couple weeks as all classes traded 2.00-3.00.  Bulls sold steady.
