As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The top slaughter bull sold for 219.00/cwt. while the top slaughter cow sold for 166.00/cwt. The replacement cattle offering outnumbered the offering of slaughter animals. Rainy weather along with a couple of herd dispersals brought in an above average size crowd. The top bred cows sold for 3000.00/head while the top pairs sold for 3700.00/pair.
