Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and a light supply of replacement cattle. Pasture conditions across the area vary with some producers starting to cull cow herds earlier than normal.
