As filed

Compared to the last sale, two weeks ago, slaughter cows and bulls traded 3.00-4.00 higher while bred cows traded 75.00-150.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and bred cows. Supplies were lighter than expected as heavy rains across much of the area, earlier in the week, made hauling cattle difficult. There was a good selection of bred cows on hand, however the offering of cow/calf pairs was very light.
