As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, the bulk of slaughter cows sold 4.00-5.00 higher with some high-dressing 6.00-7.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 4.00 higher with a high-dressing indiv. 7.00 higher. Muddy conditions from recent rains along with some heavy rain showers this morning reduced receipts which resulted in slaughter buyers being more aggressive. The offering included a light to moderate supply of both bred cows and cow/calf pairs. Demand was good for the better quality replacement cattle. Supply was light to moderate and demand very good for slaughter classes.
