Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 2.00 to 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls traded steady to 2.00 higher. Replacement supply was light after Saturday night's monthly replacement special, with most of the offering today going to slaughter buyers. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter cattle.
