As filed

*CLOSE* Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold steady. Good run of Replacement Cows on hand for an afternoon special. Demand was good as the seats were packed as farmers took the afternoon off to come check out the offering. Around an inch of rain fell overnight in the trade area, giving ranchers a sigh of relief with the much needed precipitation.
