Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cows traded fully steady with few instances 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded steady on a light test. Also today was a Bred Cow Special. A nice offering with aged cows selling higher than recent weeks. A nice selection of Bred Heifers with the front also selling higher than recent weeks. Sale again next Friday.
