Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were mostly steady. Demand was good on replacement cattle and moderate on slaughter animals. The supply was light as Extreme Heat Warnings limited most cattle movement towards the shade. The holiday shortened week kept the demand for slaughter animals lighter than normal as most packing plants will be observing Independence Day this Friday. The top slaughter bull sold for 228.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 200.00/cwt. On the replacement side the top pairs sold for 4650.00/ pair and the top bred cows sold for 3900.00/head.
