As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, breaker and boner slaughter cows traded 2.00 - 3.00 higher, with lean cows trading up to 7.00 higher. A limited number of slaughter bulls traded steady to 3.00 higher. Not enough replacement cows last week for a market comparison. Supply light with very good demand.
