As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 4.00-6.00 lower and slaughter bulls traded 5.00-7.00 lower. Demand was moderate on replacement cattle and light on slaughter animals. There was a light supply of slaughter animals and a moderate supply of replacements. As packing plants struggle to operate at full capacity, buyers are having a hard time finding a place for slaughter animals.
