Compared to last week, slaughter cows and 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 sold for 210.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 179.00/cwt. Top cow/calf pairs sold for 3800.00/pair and the top bred cows sold for 3400.00/head. Receipts for replacements were light as many, wishing to downsize or sale-out their herds, are waiting until the Special Replacement Cattle Sale on Friday, December 12.
