As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 2.00 higher. The offering included a high percent of slaughter cows and bulls. There was a moderate supply of bred cows and a light supply of cow/calf pairs. Supply was heavy and demand good for slaughter classes.
