Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Supply of slaughter cattle was moderate and heavy for replacements with a couple full herd dispersals in the offering. Lack of rain, low pond levels and the fast approaching winter continue to push slaughter and replacement consignments to town. Demand was moderate.
