As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 2.00-4.00 lower while slaughter bulls were steady. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply of replacement cattle and a heavy supply of slaughter animals. The USDA's Cold Storage report was released today and reported, the total pounds of beef in freezers were up 6 percent from the previous month but down 20 percent from last year.

Slaughter cattle
