As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 1.00-2.00 higher with slaughter bulls trading steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The slaughter market continues to remain firm in spite of the recent downturn in the cattle futures and cash market. A lot of gaunt slaughter animals on hand as many producers brought animals in yesterday to avoid the wet conditions they woke up to this morning.
