As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were unevenly steady, from 2.00 lower to 3.00 higher on high dressing breakers. Slaughter bulls sold 1.00 to 4.00 lower. A few herd dispersals were included in the offering and brought some quality bred cows and pairs to town. Demand was good on a heavy supply.
