As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded steady to weak while slaughter bulls traded steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was moderate on slaughter animals and good on replacements. The supply was moderate due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Slaughter buyers were less active this week as processing plants closed down for the holiday. The USDA's Cold Storage Report, released last week, reported beef in freezers was up 8 percent from last month and up 7 percent from a year ago.
