Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and a light supply of replacement cattle. Widespread rain across the area kept receipts lighter than expected and helped to improve pasture conditions.
