Mason - San Saba April 30, 2020
Receipts totaled 1,814 head. The market continued softer this week with COVID-19 problems in several of the packing houses limiting the number of fat cattle processed causing a good many cattle to be backed up in the feedyard. Also, we are beginning to see more fleshy new crop calves coming to town. Stocker steers were $5-$10 lower, and heifers were $5-$7 lower. Feeder steers were $5 lower, and heifers were $2-$5 lower. Packer cows were $2 lower, and bulls were steady. Pairs and bred cows sold on a steady market.
