Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded 2.00-5.00 higher with the biggest gain on high dressing cattle. Demand was good on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a light supply of bred cows and pairs. In the past two weeks, pasture conditions have gone from good to poor due to the lack of rain across the Ozarks with some areas receiving less than one-quarter of an inch so far in June.
