As filed

Compared to last week, breaker and boning slaughter cows gauging 2.00 lower with lean cows 2.00 higher. No comparisons available for slaughter bulls and feeder classes due to light receipts this week in response to excessive rainfall, however, a higher undertone was noted for slaughter bulls.
