Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and bred cows and a light supply of pairs. Receipts were lighter than normal as many producers took advantage of the hot and dry weather to harvest hay.
