Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold unevenly steady from 1.00 lower to 3.00 higher. This report combines the regular Monday slaughter and replacement auction with the replacement cattle special sale for June, which included some high quality groups of young bred cows and pairs today. Demand was good on a moderate supply.
