Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter cows going to the packers very lightly tested and 3.00-8.00 higher. Slaughter bulls steady in a light test. Replacement/stock cow buyers and slaughter buyers were aggressive for numbers. A few bred cows and pairs and these continue to sell to good demand. Overall demand very good.
