Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 3.00-4.00 higher. A high percent of the offering went to slaughter including many bred cows. Many local areas received measurable rainfall early this week but not enough or in time to keep several producers from dispersing their herds this week. Demand was good for the replacement cattle on offer. Supply was heavy and demand very good for slaughter classes.
