As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded mostly steady to 2.00 higher while slaughter bulls traded 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand was good on a very light supply. The last sale of the year at ORS included Feeder Cattle, Video Auction and Slaughter and Replacement Cattle. ORS ended 2020 with a total of 46,972 head of replacement/slaughter cattle sold which was slightly ahead of last year and 8.6 percent above the 5 year average. On behalf of the Missouri Department of Agriculture's Market News Service I would like to wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
