Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded steady to 2.00 lower while slaughter bulls traded 2.00-4.00 lower. Demand was good on a heavy supply. Receipts were the highest since November as improving pasture conditions have increased the demand for replacement and stocker cattle.
