As filed

Compared to last week, breaking and boning slaughter cows traded 8.00-12.00 lower with lean slaughter cows 5.00-10.00 lower. Slaughter bulls traded 6.00-10.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a light to moderate supply. Replacement cows remain in good demand as Spring has arrived with an abundance of grass. Demand for slaughter animal decreased this past week as record amounts of cuts, grinds, and trimmings moved through the system the past two weeks.
