Cattle
Thursday, November 5We had a good run this week buy a very tough market. Board was limit down last Friday and only had minimal additional loss up to Thursday and it was down again significantly. Packer cows and bulls sold $4.00-$6.00 lower. Calves and yearlings sold $15.00-$20.00 lower and lesser quality sold $25.00-$35.00 lower. Hopefully after the mid-terms this week things will calm down and start to improve. We look for a similar run next week.
