Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of replacement cattle and a heavy supply of slaughter animals. Little or no rain, again this week, caused pasture conditions to continue to deteriorate, resulting in higher than normal receipts as producers cull herds.
