As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was good on a heavy supply of replacement cattle and a moderate supply of slaughter animals. The top slaughter bull sold for 248.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 190.00/cwt. On the replacement side the top pairs were 20 pairs of black cows in the 1st stage with 400 lb. calves by their side which sold for 6550.00/pair. The top bred cows were 24 head of black cows in the 2nd/3rd stage which sold for 4900.00/head. There were several herd sell-outs with replacements out numbering slaughter animals by more than 2-1. Parts of the area saw some good rains over the weekend with other areas seeing little or none. Producers have been busy in the hay fields if weather permits with most reporting the quality and quantity of hay below normal.
