Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady with the exception of high dressing breakers which traded 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply. This was the largest volume for a non-special replacement sale in many years, as producers try to stay a step ahead of the tax collector. Producers have two more chances next week to buy and sale replacements, as the last regular replacement sale of 2019 will be on Wednesday and a Special Replacement Sale at noon on Saturday, December 21.
