Tuesday, December 20,  2022 - Packer Day


360 slaughter cattle including 161 fed steers and heifers that sold with good demand especially on the individuals that look to reach
that high choice and prime grade.  The marginally finished cattle continue to be under pressure because of big select
discounts

Slaughter cows traded mostly steady except for the high yielding breakers that were scarce and not tested.

The last sale of the year will be next Tuesday, Dec. 27.  Merry Christmas!!
