As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, the bulk of slaughter cows sold steady with instances 1.00-2.00 higher on some high-dressing cows and slaughter bulls sold steady on a light supply. A high percent of the offering went to slaughter. The offering included a light to moderate supply of bred cows and very light supply of cow/calf pairs. Supply and demand were moderate for slaughter classes.
