Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand very good as packers compete for lighter numbers. Demand very good for replacement cows, though quality and numbers of available bred cows and pairs has dropped off.
