As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded steady to 2.00 higher with most of the gain on high dressing breaking cows and bulls. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and bred cows and a heavy supply of pairs. With temperatures approaching triple digits, pasture conditions are rapidly changing from good to poor with some talk of feeding hay where the showers have missed.
