This report combines the regular slaughter/replacement sale with the replacement sale this evening. Compared to last week slaughter cows traded 2.00-4.00 lower with slaughter bulls trading steady. In the replacement sale compared to last month bred cows and heifers traded steady. Cow-calf pairs traded up to 600.00 higher. Total supply was heavy with good demand for the slaughter portion and very good demand for the replacement sale.
