As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 3.00-6.00 higher and Slaughter Bulls traded 2.00-5.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and a light supply of replacement cattle. Replacement receipts were light due to the upcoming Replacement Sale this Saturday.
