This week we had 204 cows and 11 bulls. The packer cows were $5-$7 cheaper. On a limited number of bulls, they were$5-$10 cheaper.
The calf market was a little cheaper once again. October always brings about a drop in prices due to larger volumes of cattle being sold and health issues in cattle at the field lots. However, cheap is not cheap. Cattle prices are still great.
