Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 4.00-6.00 lower and slaughter bulls traded 4.00 lower. Demand was good on a very heavy supply of slaughter cows and a moderate supply of slaughter bulls and replacement cattle. Receipts exceeded previous records for the Wednesday Replacement/Slaughter Auction at Ozarks Regional Stockyard as producers continue to struggle with drought conditions across the area. The bulk of the offering was average dressing and low dressing lean cows.
