As filed

Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand were moderate. Slaughter cows traded steady to 3.00 lower, while slaughter bulls traded steady. Feeding cows traded 2.00 lower and dairy heifers traded steady. Today's run included a bred cow special that had a firm undertone, especially for those within the second trimester in the young to middle aged cows.

Slaughter cattle
