As filed

Compared to the last slaughter and replacement cattle sale two weeks ago, slaughter cows and bulls traded steady. The offering included a very light supply of bred cows and cow/calf pairs. Supply of slaughter cattle was moderate to light and demand was moderate for the first sale of the year at the SLMC.
