As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 4.00-8.00 higher with the greatest advance on high-dressing bulls. The offering included a light to moderate supply of both bred cows and cow/calf pairs. Supply was heavy and demand very good for slaughter classes.
