Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00-6.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Top slaughter bulls brought 188.00/cwt. while the top slaughter cows brought 148.00cwt. The offering of bred cows and pairs were good considering there will be a special replacement sale this Saturday. The top pairs brought 3100.00/pair, and the top bred cows brought 2950.00/head. The USDA Cold Storage Report, released Friday, reported total pounds of beef in freezers were up 4 percent from the previous month but down 5 percent from last year.
