As filed

Compared to the last well tested market of three weeks ago, slaughter cows and bulls traded 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply of slaughter cows, a moderate supply of slaughter bulls and bred cows, and a light supply of pairs. The USDA's Cold Storage Report released during the Holiday Break reported the total pounds of beef in freezers were up 4 percent from the previous month but down 4 percent from last year.
