As filed

Compared to the weather market Wednesday two weeks ago, slaughter cows sold 5.00-8.00 lower and the bulk of slaughter bulls sold 3.00-4.00 lower. The offering included a moderate supply of bred cows and a light supply of cow/calf pairs. Supply was heavy and demand moderate for slaughter classes.
