Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Slaughter cows 6.00 - 8.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 10.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Quality mostly average. The lack of moisture, extreme heat and higher fuel prices are having a major impact on feeding cows across the region. Much of the areas is back in the extreme and severe drought conditions once again. Many ranchers are already into feeding hay or having to buy it. Due to the lack of availability or high hay prices ranchers are forced into selling deep into their herds.
