Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 2.00-3.00 lower except for high dressing lean cows which were 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply. Receipts were lighter than usual with many producers cutting and baling hay.
