Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand was good on moderate supply of slaughter animals and bred cows and a light supply of pairs. The cattle future boards recovered some of their losses from Tuesday. Meat shortages, due to the cyber attack on the largest meat processor in the U.S., appear to have been avoided as the company resumed production on Wednesday.
