As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded steady to 1.00 lower and slaughter bulls traded steady. Demand was good on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a moderate supply of replacement cattle. Sharply lower beef futures and higher grain contracts had little effect on today's cash prices for slaughter animals as the demand for beef stays strong with box beef cutout values continuing to rise.
