As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 2.00-4.00 higher with most of the gain on lean cows. Slaughter bulls traded 4.00-8.00 higher. Demand was very good on slaughter animals and moderate on replacement cattle. There was a heavy supply of slaughter animals, a moderate supply of bred cows and a light supply of pairs. Last week's USDA Cold Storage Report had total pounds of beef in freezers up 3 percent from the previous month but down 6 percent from last year. Demand for slaughter cows and bulls has increased as consumers are finding ground beef a more economical option at the meat counter.
