As filed

*CLOSE* Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls were 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Today's offering included a heavy offering of replacement cattle for the monthly special. Replacement supply consisted mostly of bred cows, with young 2nd/3rd stage cows making up most of the supply and trending higher on good demand.
