As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was good on a moderate supply of bred cows and slaughter animals and a light supply of pairs. Much of the area started drying out following the heavy rains earlier in the week, which resulted in ponds overflowing and watergates washing out. Most of the streams and rivers water levels are starting to fall with areas down stream expecting to crest soon.

Slaughter cattle
