Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 2.00-4.00 lower while slaughter bulls traded 3.00-6.00 lower. Demand was good on a heavy supply. Recent top prices and much cooler temperatures brought out a much larger supply of slaughter animal, especially bulls, than expected. The number and quality of bred cows and pairs was better than expected considering there is a special cow and bull sale this Saturday.
