Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, Holstein slaughter cows were 2.00 lower. No other comparisons are available because of light receipts. Many farmers are busy in the fields this week as we finally have a break in all this rainy weather and most are trying to get first cutting of hay done and finish planting their crops.
