As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was good on a light supply. Replacement cattle outnumbered slaughter animals and sold with better demand. The top bred cows brought 2725.00/head while the top pairs brought 3050.00/pair. A pair of young purebred Charolais Bulls sold for 4000.00/head. Rain across the area is keeping the grass green and growing. There were areas that experienced flooding, this morning, from over 10 inches of rain.
