Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The top slaughter bull sold for 242.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 193.00/cwt. On the replacement side the top pair sold for 4800.00/pair and the top bred cow sold for 4100.00/head. The receipts were lighter than last week due in part to the drier weather which is allowing producers to get into the hayfields.
