Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were mostly steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were trending lower based on light receipts. No other comparison data is available from light receipts at the auction today which severe thunderstorms in the area was probably a contributing factor.
