As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, the bulk of slaughter cows sold steady with a few high dressing 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold steady. The replacement cow sale held in conjunction with the regular sale provided a heavy supply of bred cows and cow/calf pairs. Supply was heavy and demand moderate for slaughter classes.
