As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 2.00-3.00 higher while slaughter bulls trade steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and a light supply of replacement cattle. The heat advisory issued across the area kept receipts lighter than normal. The USDA's Cold Storage Report, released last week, reported beef in freezers was down 4 percent from the previous month and down 7 percent from a year ago.
