Compared to last Monday, breaking and boning slaughter cows sold steady while lean slaughter cows sold 1.00-2.00 higher. The bulk of slaughter bulls sold steady with several extreme high-dressing bulls 4.00 higher. The slaughter cow offering included several cull dairy cows. There was a light supply of both bred cows and cow/calf pairs. Supply and demand were moderate for slaughter classes.
