As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 2.00-3.00 higher while slaughter bulls traded steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and bred cows and a light supply of pairs. There were several packages of good bred cows and pairs in the offering with even more expected this Saturday at the Special Cow Sale.
