As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows and slaughter bulls sold steady. The offering included a light supply of bred cows and cow/calf pairs. Cold wind is lingering today following the snow which fell much of the day yesterday. Producers are looking for some warmer weather to get grass growing again. Supply was heavy and demand good for slaughter classes.
