The slaughter cow market is pretty sad. Packer's have taken $10 to $12 per cwt dressed weight off in the last 8 days. Best packer cow that walks is in low $40's The buyers I talk to say the plants are full and cattle they buy today are scheduled for slaughter a week latter. Lots of weak cows showing up that producers tried to get one more calf out of them. They are bringing $15 to $30 per cwt. Some of them cannot make a long haul.
