As filed

Compared to last week, breaking and boning cows traded 7.00-11.00 higher with lean cows 4.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded 10.00-12.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. A couple of the major slaughter buyers were back with orders to fill after having been missing in action the past two weeks.
