Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold steady to 1.00 lower. A high percent of the offering went to slaughter. There was a light to moderate supply of bred cows and a light supply of cow/calf pairs. Supply was heavy and demand moderate for slaughter classes.
