As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and bred cows and a light supply of pairs. The top slaughter bull sold for 212.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 175.00/cwt. Replacement cattle outnumbered slaughter animals with the top bred cow selling for 3700.00/head and the top pair also selling for 3700.00/pair.
