Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Today's annual replacement cattle special auction had good strings of breds and pairs selling mostly due to drought. Most of the offerings were carrying good quality and condition. Trade activity and demand moderated to good. Prices were firm on good pairs of black-hided cattle. Bred cattle were mostly in the 3rd trimester with a lot of young and middle aged offerings. Bred cows that sold per cwt fell in line with current slaughter cow prices.
