Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, fat breaking slaughter cows sold 1.00-2.00 higher with a few high dressing 3.00-4.00 higher while boning and lean slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold 2.00-3.00 lower. The offering included a moderate supply of bred cows and a light to moderate supply of cow/calf pairs. Dry conditions are causing pasture grasses to disappear rapidly and driving more cows to market. Supply was heavy and demand moderate for slaughter classes
