Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday sale on a bred cow special. Slaughter cows instances 5.00-10.00 higher, slaughter bulls on a light offering steady instances 2.00 higher. Not enough feeder calves for a good market test. Bred cow special good demand with good buyer participation.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
