As filed

Compared to last Monday, slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 1.00-2.00 higher. The offering included a very light supply of both bred cows and cow/calf pairs following the special replacement cow and bull sale this past Saturday evening. Supply was moderate to heavy and demand good for slaughter classes.
