Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded steady to 1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded 3.00-4.00 higher, with most of the gain on an abundance of high dressing individuals. Demand was good on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and bred cows and a light supply of pairs.
