Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady. Demand was good to very good on a light supply. Replacement cattle continue to be in very good demand as producers look to replace culled cows. The top bred cows brought 2575.00/head and top pairs brought 3025.00/pair. One stick-out draft of 5 bred heifers brought 2150.00/head. Rains from hurricane Beryl have improved pasture conditions and have producers optimistic of a good second harvest of hay.
