As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 1.00-2.00 lower and slaughter bulls traded steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a moderate supply of replacement cattle. The USDA's Cold Storage Report released last week reported total pounds of beef in freezers were up 1 percent from the previous month and up 11 percent from last year.
