Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a moderate supply of replacement cattle. Winter weather moving into the area kept receipts lighter than expected. The offering included one large dispersal of over 180 head with many of the younger bred cows returning to local farms.
