As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 2.00-3.00 lower while slaughter bulls traded 3.00-4.00 lower. Demand was good on replacement cattle and moderate slaughter animals. There was a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a moderate supply of bred cows and pairs. The USDA's Cold Storage Report released today reported that the total pounds of beef in freezers were up 4 percent from the previous month but down 8 percent from last year.
