As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold unevenly steady from 2.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Demand was moderate on a heavy supply after no sale last Monday for the Labor day holiday. A large offering of replacement cattle this week with some groups of high quality bred cows and pairs that found very good demand.
