As filed

Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand moderate to good. Slaughter cows traded 0.50 to 13.00 higher, while slaughter bulls traded 6.00 higher. Feeding cattle traded mostly 6.00 to 10.00 higher. Bred cows and pairs were too thinly tested to accurately trend. The next available report will be Thursday, April 23, 2020.
