Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 2.00-3.00 lower and slaughter bulls traded steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply of replacement cattle and a heavy supply of slaughter animals. Bred cows traded mostly steady, with a good variety in the offering however the offering of cow/calf pairs was too light for a comparison.
