Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. Rain across the area has improved pasture conditions as well as demand for replacement cattle. The top bred cow brought 1850.00 and top pairs brought 2600.00.
