As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold unevenly steady and slaughter bulls sold 1.00-2.00 higher on a heavy supply. The offering included a heavy supply of stock cows and a light supply of both bred cows and cow/calf pairs. Receipts were heavy as producers cull and prepare for the winter months ahead and as forage supplies are limited.
