As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter cows and a light supply of slaughter bulls and replacement animals. Bred cows and pairs traded $200.00 higher with better demand as most of the area has been receiving some much needed rain.

Slaughter cattle
