Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 2.00-4.00 higher while slaughter bulls traded 1.00-2.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a moderate supply of replacement cattle. Rising box beef cutout values have increased the demand for slaughter animals while warmer temperatures and greener pastures have increased the demand for replacement cattle.
