As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded mostly steady with some high dressing bulls 5.00 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 Monday, reported total pounds of beef in freezers were down 1 percent from the previous month but up 18 percent from last year.
