Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago slaughter cows 3.00-6.00 higher, slaughter bulls 5.00-7.00 higher with good offering of young to middle aged going back to grass or to be bred. Not enough feeder cattle for a good market test or comparisons. Demand good with good buyer participation. Summer schedule: sale every other Tuesday, next sale will be June 27 th.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
