As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand was good on slaughter animals and very good on replacement cattle. The supply of replacement cattle was heavy and the supply of slaughter animals was moderate. In an unusual twist for a Wednesday sale, replacement cattle outnumbered slaughter animals. The top bred cows brought 2300.00/head while the top slaughter cow brought 120.00/cwt. and the top slaughter bull brought 152.00/cwt.

Slaughter cattle
