As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and a heavy supply of bred cows and pairs. Replacement animals out-numbered slaughter animals with several herd sellouts in the offering. Replacement cattle had no problem finding a new home with a large crowd of active buyers in attendance. Top bred cows sold for 2725.00/head while top pairs brought 3150.00/pair. The top slaughter bull brought 198.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cows sold for 154.00/cwt.
