Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand moderate to good. Slaughter cows traded 0.50 to 3.00 higher, while bulls traded 2.00 higher. Feeding cows traded 1.50 to 13.50 higher. Replacement cattle did not have enough like comparisons to accurately trend and feeder cattle were too thinly tested for any kind of market trend. The next available report will be Thursday, May 14, 2020.
