As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded 7.00-10.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a light supply of replacement cattle. Weekend rains along with triple digit temperatures kept receipts lighter than last week's record run, however, receipts were much higher than normal as producers continue to reduce herds due to poor pasture conditions and the lack of and cost of hay.
