As filed

Compared to last week, the bulk of the slaughter cows traded 3.00-4.00 higher with some high dressing cows trading 10.00-12.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded steady. Demand was very good on slaughter cows and good on slaughter bulls and replacement cattle. The supply was moderate to heavy including one group of outstanding high dressing breaking and boning cows.
