As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, slaughter cows traded steady to 2.00 higher while slaughter bulls traded steady to weak. Demand was moderate on slaughter animals and good on replacement cattle. The supply was light to moderate due to muddy roads and barnyards. A large number of the stocker cows and some slaughter cows were in the offering due to the loss of newborn calves during the sub-zero temperatures last week. The USDA's Cold Storage report, released Monday, reported total pounds of beef in freezers was down 3 percent from the previous month but up 6 percent from a year ago.
