As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 2.00 to 6.00 higher with the most advance on breaking and boning cows. Slaughter bulls traded 1.00 to 3.00 higher on a lighter test. Supply was moderate and demand very good with most of the offering going to slaughter and pushing many high dressin breakers and boners offered over the 1.00/lb mark.
