Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher, and slaughter bulls were steady to 3.00 higher. A nice group of Hereford bred heifers was a highlight in the offering as well as a quality set of short and solid pairs. Demand was good on a moderate supply.
