As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00-6.00 higher. Demand was very good on slaughter animals and moderate on replacement cattle. The supply of slaughter animals and bred cows was moderate while the supply of pairs was light. The top slaughter bull sold for 189.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 151.00/cwt. Bred cows were mostly steady with the quality lower than last week's offering.

Slaughter cattle
