Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, slaughter cows and bulls traded steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of replacement animals and a heavy supply of slaughter cows. Producers took advantage of the sunshine and milder temperatures to bring cattle to town in advance of the expected Winter weather.
