As filed

Compared to the last slaughter and replacement cattle sale two weeks ago, slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand was good on a very heavy supply after a week off for the 4th of July holiday and worsening drought conditions pushing more cattle to town.
