Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold 1.00-3.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold 2.00 lower. The offering included a moderate supply of bred cows and cow/calf pairs were scarce. After several cooler days the first of the week the heat is beginning to dwell on the region again. Supply was light and demand moderate for slaughter classes.
