As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded steady to 1.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Wet and cold conditions kept receipts lower as muddy lots made hauling difficult. The USDA's Cold Storage Report released last week reported Beef in freezers was 3 percent higher than last month but down 1 percent from a year ago.
