Compared to last week, slaughter cows were steady and slaughter bulls were 1.00-2.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and a light supply of replacement cattle. With a special replacement auction only three days away, the supply of bred cows and pairs was light. There was a limited number of higher quality replacement animals in the offering as most of those are waiting to be sold at Saturday's Special Sale.
