Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows and slaughter bulls sold steady to 1.00 lower. The slaughter cow offering included a heavy supply of cull dairy cows. Rain throughout the day did not keep producers from bringing cattle to market, encouraged by the good slaughter market. The offering included a light supply of bred cows and cow/calf pairs. Supply was heavy and demand good for slaughter classes.
