As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 higher and the bulk of slaughter bulls sold 4.00-6.00 higher with several high-dressing bulls 7.00-10.00 higher. There was a high percent of high-dressing bulls in the offering. The supply of bred cows was light to moderate and the supply of cow/calf pairs was very light. Supply was moderate to heavy and demand very good for slaughter classes.
