As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady. Demand was moderate on a light supply. The top slaughter bull sold for 212.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 174.00/cwt. Replacement cattle outnumbered slaughter animals with the top pair selling for 4000.00/pair and the top bred cows selling for 3450.00. A cool front moved across the area this week bringing lower temperatures and some scattered showers. Pastures have continued to green up with some growth, however more rainfall is need to replenish water supplies in ponds and streams. Boxed Beef prices are showing some positive gains this week following several weeks of trending lower.
