As filed

Compared to last Monday, slaughter cows sold 8.00-10.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 3.00 higher. The offering included a light to moderate supply of bred cows with most in the second stage and a very light supply of cow/calf pairs. Supply was moderate and demand very good for slaughter classes.
