As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded steady to 3.00 lower while slaughter bulls traded mostly steady. Demand was good on slaughter animals and moderate on replacement cattle. There was a heavy supply of slaughter cows and bulls and a moderate supply of bred cows and pairs. Although slaughter prices have backed off a little, they are still averaging nearly 20.00/cwt. higher than a year ago. With grass starting to take off in the Ozarks, producers are becoming more competitive with the slaughter buyers and are helping bred cows avoid the processing plant and return to the farm.
