As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 2.00-3.00 higher and slaughter bulls traded 3.00-4.00 higher with some top individuals fully 10.00 higher. Demand was very good on slaughter animals and good on replacement animals. The supply of slaughter animals was light to moderate with the supply of bred cows and pairs moderate.
