Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 2.00-3.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady. Demand was good on a light supply. The forecast of sub-zero temperatures, this weekend, kept many at home to prepare. There was a light run of most classes, however a large percentage of bred cows were above average quality and had no problem finding a new home.
