As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 lower while slaughter bulls were 3.00-4.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of bred cows and pairs and a light supply of slaughter animals. Replacement cattle outnumbered slaughter animals with several herd dispersals in the offering. One sellout included 19 head of 2nd and 3rd stage Hereford Cows, from a reputation herd, that averaged 3030.00/head. Other top prices were 205.00/cwt. for a slaughter bull, 4300.00/head for a replacement bull and Cow/Calf pairs for 3150.00.
