Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Monday, the bulk of slaughter cows sold 5.00-7.00 higher with some high-dressing 8.00-10.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher. Adverse weather conditions have reduced receipts resulting in higher demand and prices. The slaughter offering included a high percent of cull dairy cows. The supply of bred cows and cow/calf pairs was light. Supply was light and demand very good for slaughter cows.
