Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded steady to 1.00 higher with spots 3.00 higher on some high dressing individuals. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The USDA's Cold Storage Report released last week reported frozen beef in storage was 2 percent higher than the previous month and 11 percent higher than a year ago. There is a surplus of beef on hoof but the problem is getting it from the farms to the consumer. Hopefully a solution to this logistical issue will be found in the near future.
