Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Monday, slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 4.00-5.00 higher on a heavy supply. Other than the dispersal of a large lot of outstanding mellow yellow heifer pairs and bred heifers the supply of bred cows and cow/calf pairs was light following the monthly replacement sale this past Saturday evening. Supply was moderate to heavy and demand good for slaughter classes.
