Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Breaker utility were 3.00 to 4.00 higher, Boner utility 2.00 higher and Lean cows 2.00 to 3.00 lower. No recent price comparison on slaughter bulls, although steady undertone was noted. Today's offering included a heavy offering of replacement cattle for the monthly special. Replacement supply consisted mostly of bred cows with aged 2nd/3rd stage cows making up most of the supply and trending higher on good demand.
