As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 2.00-3.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of replacement cattle and a heavy suppy of slaughter animals. Top slaughter bulls brought 146.00/cwt while the top slaughter cow brought 120.00/cwt. The offering of bred cows was above average with the top bred cows bringing 2375.00/head.
