As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold 1.00-3.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 3.00-500 higher. The offering included a heavy supply of bred cows and a moderate supply of cow/calf pairs with a special replacement cow and bull sale immediately following the regular cow and bull sale. There were several dispersal's and herd reductions providing some good quality replacement cattle. Supply was heavy and demand good for slaughter classes.
