Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 2.00-3.00 lower and slaughter bulls traded steady. Bred cows traded 50.00-75.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate to heavy supply. Bred cow movement this week was tied to hay supplies as one herd sellout was due to a short supply while several buyers with adequate supplies were looking to add to their herd before Spring.
