Reporter comment USDA

As filed

*CLOSE* Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Another good run of cows today as the typical turn out time has passed. More rain in the forecast this week, however sunshine and warmer temperatures are much needed to give the short grass a boost.
