Local Hogs and Cattle Prices Dip
Hog and cattle prices on local markets continued the
downward trend begun last week. With steers and hogs
hovering around the $55.00 mark, prices were anything but
low, but they were down somewhat from the inflated highs of
three or four weeks ago. No one at this point has predicted a
big drop from present levels. Looks like the market may have
settled down for awhile.
