Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago on a good run of cow/calf pairs, slaughter cows and bulls for this time of the year. Slaughter cows mostly steady few instances 3.00 lower, with slaughter bulls higher overtones with instances 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Not enough feeder calves for a good market test. Demand good.
