Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded steady while slaughter bulls traded 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a moderate supply of replacement cattle. Also in the mix was a whole Jersey herd sellout which was well attended prior to the beef cattle sale.
