Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Monday, the bulk of slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold fully steady. The offering included a light supply of both bred cows and cow/calf pairs. Supply was moderate and demand very good for slaughter classes with an additional slaughter buyer active today.
