As filed

Compared to last Monday, slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher with the advance on boning and lean slaughter cows. Slaughter bulls sold steady on a light supply. The offering included a light supply of bred cows and a very light supply of cow/calf pairs following the replacement special this past Saturday evening. A high percent of the receipts went to slaughter. Supply was heavy and demand moderate for slaughter cows
