Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and slaughter bulls traded steady to 1.00 lower. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Fears that the JBS plant fire in Grand Island, NB would turn into another Finney County were short lived as the plant resumed operation on Tuesday.
