As filed

Compared to last Monday, slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 4.00-5.00 higher. The offering included a light to moderate supply of bred cows and cow/calf pairs. A small dispersal was included in the offering. There were several cull dairy cows included in the slaughter offering. Supply was heavy and demand very good for slaughter classes.
