As filed

Compared to Monday two weeks ago, the bulk of breaking and boning slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher with a few high dressing 6.00 higher while lean slaughter cows sold near steady and slaughter bulls sold 1.00-2.00 higher on a light supply. A high percent of the offering went to slaughter. There was a light offering of replacement cattle. Supply was moderate and demand good for slaughter classes.
