As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold 4.00-8.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold 4.00-7.00 lower. Slaughter animal prices lost the majority of last week's increase. A high percent of the offering was slaughter cows and bulls. The offering included a moderate supply of bred cows and a light supply of cow/calf pairs. Supply was heavy and demand moderate for slaughter classes.
