Trading in West Plains remained constant. Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and bred cows and a light supply of pairs.

Many blame the need for ranchers to get the hay in while the sun shines for the light receipts which were lighter than normal as many producers took advantage of the hot and dry weather to harvest hay.

Supply included (percentages are rounded): 82% Slaughter Cattle (6% Bulls, 94% Cows); 18% Replacement Cattle (19% Cow-Calf Pairs, 41% Bred Cows); 41% Stock Cows);
