Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 2.00 to 6.00 higher with the most advance on breaking and boning cows. Slaughter bulls traded 1.00 to 3.00 higher on a lighter test. Supply was moderate and demand very good with most of the offering going to slaughter and pushing many high dressin breakers and boners offered over the 1.00/lb mark.
