Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: All classes again lightly tested. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 7.00-8.00 higher. Packer demand good. A few very nice middle aged bred cows on offer and these sold to moderate to good demand. Summers heat has quickly dried up pastures, leaving farmers little choice but to sell.
