Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter cows 4.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls not well tested. Packer demand moderate to good but demand very good for replacement cows and pairs. Another week of light numbers and mainly due to the large amounts of rain over the weekend across much of the state.
