Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter cows steady in a very light test. Slaughter bulls 2.00-4.00 higher. Several nice bred cows and pairs on offer and again many open cows returning to the country. Not that many to choose from for the packer today.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
