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 a light supply of replacement cattle. The USDA's Cold Storage Report, released yesterday, reported total pounds of beef in freezers were down 3 percent from the previous month but up 8 percent from last year.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
