As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded 2.00-4.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply of bred cows and slaughter animals and a light supply of pairs. The USDA's Cold Storage report released last week reported beef in freezers was up 5 percent from last month but down 2 percent from a year ago.
