As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 higher and the bulk of slaughter bulls sold steady to 1.00 lower. The offering included a moderate supply of bred cows and a light supply of cow calf pairs. With no moisture for fall forage growth the numbers of cattle coming to market is on the increase. Supply was heavy and demand moderate for slaughter classes.
