Good day, had a very big offering of cattle at today's market. Feeder calves were 10-15 lower and slaughter cattle were 5-7 lower. Even though the markets a little cheaper the groups of feeder calves still sold very good. Had some really nice replacement cows as well. And had some light calves bring crazy money.
