As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold 3.00-4.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold 4.00-5.00 lower. The offering included a moderate supply of bred cows and a light supply of cow/calf pairs. Much of the barn talk today had to do with how dry it is getting with many producers already feeding hay to supplement pastures. Supply was heavy and demand moderate for slaughter classes.
