Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold steady and slaughter bulls sold 1.00-2.00 higher. The offering included a moderate supply of bred cows and a light supply of cow/calf pairs. Sunshine and warmer weather, drying some of the mud, encouraged producers to bring cattle to market getting back to more normal receipts. Supply was moderate and demand good for slaughter classes.
