As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, the bulk of slaughter cows sold steady with a few high-dressing 3.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher. The offering included a moderate to heavy supply of bred cows and cow /calf pairs. Supply was heavy and demand very good for slaughter classes.
