As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, the bulk of slaughter cows and slaughter bull sold steady with instances 1.00-2.00 lower. A high percent of the offering went to slaughter. Demand was good for the bred cows and cow/calf pairs that were on offer today. Supply was moderate to heavy and demand very good for slaughter classes.
