   Compared to last week:  No recent comparison on replacement cattle, however a 
lower undertone noted.  Several consignments of reputation replacement cattle on 
offer with best demand for 3-4 yr old bred cows.  Slaughter cows and bulls had 
no recent test, therefore an accurate trend was not possible.  Demand moderate 
to good for all classes.  Today's supply consisted of 31 slaughter cows and 
bulls and the balance replacement cattle.  Replacement cattle were comprised of 
approximately 30 percent bred heifers, 35 percent young bred cows, 15 percent
