As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded steady to 2.00 higher while slaughter bulls traded 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a moderate supply of replacement cattle. The USDA's Cold Storage report released last week reported beef in storage was down 2 percent from last month but up 14 percent from a year ago.
