As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower with the decline mostly on boning and lean slaughter cows and slaughter bulls sold 2.00-3.00 lower. There was a light supply of bred cows and a very light supply of cow/calf pairs. Supply was heavy and demand moderate for slaughter cows.
