Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady. Demand was moderate on slaughter animals and good on replacement cattle. There was a moderate supply of slaughter animals and bred cows and a light supply of pairs. The top slaughter bull sold for 208.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cows sold for 167.00/cwt. The quality of bred cows in the offering was above aveage and included several 3-n-1 packages of bred cows in the 2nd stage with calves over 300 lbs. by their side. The top pairs sold for 4100.00 and the top bred cows sold for 3400.00. There will be sales on both Tuesday and Wednesday during next week.
