As filed

Compared to two weeks ago on a good run of cow/calf pairs, slaughter cows and bulls for this time of the year. Slaughter cows mostly steady few instances 3.00 lower, with slaughter bulls higher overtones with instances 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Not enough feeder calves for a good market test. Demand good. Summer schedule with next sale JULY 9 TH selling all classes of cattle.
