Compared to last week, slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and a light supply of bred cows and pairs. The first heavy frost of the year has stopped pasture growth. Weekend rain amounts varied and as a result pond levels range from low to adequate. Many who haven't culled herds all ready will be looking to do so before Winter.
