As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold 2.00-3.00 lower. The offering included a heavy supply of bred cows and cow calf/pairs with the combined receipts of the regular cow and bull sale and the special replacement sale following at 4:30. There was a large supply of both bred heifers and open heifers available in the offering. Demand was good for the replacements. Supply was moderate to heavy and demand good for slaughter classes.
