Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls traded steady. Demand was moderate on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a moderate supply of replacement cattle. The growing season ended earlier than normal as the area woke up to sub-freezing temperatures this week. Receipts were higher than usual as drought conditions continue to increase.
