Compared to last week, slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 lower and bulls were steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Slaughter prices were slightly lower as one of the major packers had a plant down due to water issues. The top slaughter bull sold for 259.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 195.00/cwt. On the replacement side, the top pair sold for 5500.00 and the top bred cows sold for 3950.00/head. Rain has been hit and miss and has not been enough to end the extreme drought conditions in the southern portions of the ORS service area.
