Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter cows lightly tested and steady to 5.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 1.00 higher. Heavy rains fell before and during the cow sale prompting mostly gaunt weigh-ups for cows and bulls. Packer demand moderate to good. Demand continues very good for bred cows and pairs. Many open, thin cows continue to return to the country.
