Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, the bulk of slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 higher with a few high-dressing 6.00-7.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 4.00-5.00 higher. Weather conditions across the country have contributed to lower receipts and packers are more aggressive to purchase those that are available. The offering included a moderate supply of bred cows and light supply of cow/calf pairs. Supply was moderate and demand very good for slaughter classes.
