This week we had 271 cows and 24 bulls. The packers were steady to $2 higher and the bulls were $2-$4 higher than last week.
The calf market was on par with last week’s average. The plainer, harder to place cattle are getting cheaper; however, the top end calves are holding their value. Demand is still very strong.
