Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 2.00-3.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and a light supply of replacement cattle. The top slaughter bull brought 208.00 cwt. while the top slaughter cow brought 167.50 cwt. The selection of bred cows and pairs was limited with mostly plain cattle in the offering. With the special Replacement Auction this Friday, many producers were waiting a couple of days to bring cows to town. Several herds have been consigned for the special sale with a variety of sizes, colors, and packages from which to choose. One consignment drawing a lot of attention is 500 cow/calf pairs from one farm that will sell in front of a standing room only crowd beginning at 5:00 P.M. Friday, May 16.
