As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was good on replacement cattle and moderate on slaughter animals. The supply of replacement cattle was moderate while the supply of slaughter animals was light. There were twice as many replacement cattle as slaughter animals with several herds coming to town due to the lack of pastures and water. Isolated showers earlier in the week did little to improve the drought conditions in the area.

Slaughter cattle
