As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 4.00-7.00 higher with the greatest advance on high dressing individuals for both cows and bulls. The offering included a high percent of slaughter cattle. Demand was very good for the higher quality replacement cattle. Supply was heavy and demand very good for slaughter classes.
