As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded 3.00-5.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a moderate supply of replacement cattle. Higher beef demand as well as higher retail costs for pork has caused significant gains in boxed beef cutout values. This has been good news for the beef industry, especially slaughter cows and bulls which have been experiencing good gains for the third week in a row.
