Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded steady. Demand was moderate on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a light supply of replacement cattle. The USDA's Cold Storage report released last week reported the total pounds of beef in freezers were up 5 percent from the previous month but down 6 percent from last year.
