As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and a heavy supply of replacement cattle. This month's USDA Cold Storage report reported that beef in freezers was up 3 percent from last month but was 3 percent lower than a year ago.
