As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, the bulk of slaughter cows sold 6.00-7.00 lower with a few especially some high-dressing cows 8.00-10.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold 5.00-6.00 lower. The offering included a moderate supply of bred cows and a light supply of cow/calf pairs. Supply was heavy and demand light to moderate for slaughter classes.
