As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Rain across most of the region this week helped slow down the flow of cows to the market, in hopes that there will be some fall growth in the pastures. Most areas didn't receive pond filling type rains but the change in weather pattern is keeping everyone optimistic. The top slaughter bull this week brought 208.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow brought 171.00/cwt. The quality of the replacements in the offering was less than last week with the top bred cow bringing 3700.00/head and the top pair bringing 3800.00/pair.
