As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-4.00 higher. Bred cows were steady and pairs were 100.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply. Slaughter animals continue to be in good demand with prices setting new records for the year. The top slaughter bull sold for 146.00/cwt and the top slaughter cow brought 121.00/cwt. Buyers and sellers in the replacement market are determined by who has received rain and who hasn't. A large crowd was ringside as the Ozarks Regional Stockyard celebrated its 40th Anniversary with a customer appreciation Bar-B-Que.
